Though I love my dad to death I think he was a real bastard to work with for the nursing staff there. He battled them every step of the way, he can't swallow pills (nor can I) and the staff had a difficult time with that. Then he put his lower partial in a napkin and fell asleep just to wake up and find that they had chucked it. He tried to escape twice. All in all I don't think any of them had much fun lol. Anyway he's going home so I guess they can all be done with it.
I'm so glad he's ok Eric. I've just gotta say this...

Stay on top of this. If he has follow up Dr. appt's make SURE he keeps them. I lost my son to pneumonia last Feb. from a relapse because he refused to go back for follow up. I don't mean to sound bossy...I just wanted to share how important aftercare is.
