Dad's Sense of Humor..Or Is It?

Many of you may already know that Dad spent all day yesterday in the ER and was admitted to Sutter Hospital here in Santa Rosa, CA. His condition is serious with a diagnosis of acute renal failure, however he is responding to treatment. The doctors will be taking tests daily to assess how his kidney's are responding and based on those results will determine what next steps we take. His condition with dementia also limits what treatments are available to him, for example he is not a candidate for dialysis. More on his condition as I get the information from his doctors and nurses and I'll pass it on to you.

And now about Dad's sense of humor. This story was related to me from the night nurse about what happened early this morning:

The nurse supervisor laid her glasses down on Dad's tray-table and Dad picked them up. The nurse said that "those are my glasses" and Dad said, "no they're mine!" Then Dad said, "Prove that they're your glasses." So the Nurse said, "Put them on." And, of course, Dad couldn't clearly see through them. So Dad takes the glasses off and looks at the nurse and says, "Well, you still don't look good."

Seems everyone got a laugh and the story has been making the rounds. Those of us that know Dad know he was serious!

Here are two photos I took of Dad today:
