In addition to whatever physical problems he had, he had dementia as well, and the "sundowning," - the confusion as it got on toward evening, was horrible. He became an entirely foreign person even to me. And for someone who was fairly religious and circumspect all his life, he got very vocal against people of color (embarrassing to death when his nurses or aide happened to be african-american) AND very lewd... I wouldn't have been surprised to hear HIM ask you for a kiss!!! Thank you for your patience and kindness, even in the midst of having to do some very crappy work.Dog Hair in my Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905926891842422113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-24808845121474292972012-07-26T13:52:40.016+00:002012-07-26T13:52:40.016+00:00Hopefully she wouldn't remember any of that wh...Hopefully she wouldn't remember any of that when she came back into the real world.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-87317032994084896862012-07-26T12:51:17.267+00:002012-07-26T12:51:17.267+00:00There used to be plenty of high-dependency custome...There used to be plenty of high-dependency customers when I was a bookseller.
