One really bad part of this is that until he fell, I called him every day and we would chat. I’ve spoken to him a handful of times since he’s been in the hospital and he’s mostly incoherent.

I’m sure they are sedating him to some extent to keep him from trying to climb out of bed and hurting himself. His neighbours visited him today and said he was totally out of it. Some of this is likely pain meds, some could be remaining from the anesthetic, some could be sedatives and dementia.

He was asking me yo come get him out of there. I explained again that he can’t leave until he can walk abd he seemed to understand. What am I supposed to do, take him home so he can live in his bed in a pool if urine and feces???

It’s frustrating and hurtful seeing a once brilliant man reduced to this.
