Alas...

It's a bit funny talking about Dad's biological clock. Cos he always stays in bed, he mixs up the time of the day and night. Before he is a very punctual person. yay

At daytime, whenever the light is bright,the radio is on, even the noice from outside. Nothing can be effected him, he just sleeps tight like a baby except eating and drinking time. I wonder he is following his own inner body clock when to awake up and fall asleep now sigh So when after dinner he awakes widely and activety, his mind vivid and talks more -- he wants his shoes, he wants to get up to school or to work, or wants to go back to his" own" home... At that moment, all things passed before in his life came to appear to his mind again though all were the fragment of old memories. I had to talk with him in mess. doh

Funny thing would be happened, like once I talked to him; "You looked like an emperor leaning on bed watching TV." He replied:" you are the emperor! Not me." " Why? " "because you are sitting there." Ah, yes, from the images of our emperors,they all sat straight on their chairs...laugh

When it's time to turn off the light, he didn't like the light off and said that I am too stingy to save the electricity, sounded like I was a Scrooge. uh oh I had to say the electricity is cut off... but he didn't aware of the air conditioner was still at work.

One thing I had to admit that I made white lies to him someetimes to calm down his emotions. My mom passed for over 3 years which dad forgot maybe, she was the only woman my Dad often mentioned and looked for. In his deep mind, he still missed her I knew. heart beating Alas. I didn't know how to answer him when he mentioned her, I tried to avoid the word 'dead' , So a white lie is needed for both of us at the present time...

You are a good daughter having so much patience with your dad. Must be so hard to keep the comfortable and happy when they are all confused about most things. sad flower
As Elk said, he is blessed to have a daughter like you. Thank you for your love.

When people lie in bed all day or night, their sleeping patterns get mixed up, and sometimes they do mistake the time of day. It's hard for us to understand this when we are on a regular schedule, but I have seen/experienced it myself.

I hope you find someone to love you (if you are looking) because you are loving person yourself.

Hi, ekself:

Thanks! My dad is 95 years old and in weak body since half a year ago he got a severe pheumonia and nearly died. Now he is recovered better and I am happy for him ... I gave up my job and look after him. I know there are many chances to earn money ,but the chance to take care of him is going to less.

Have a great day! hug
Hi, calm;

Thanks for your understanding and kind wishes.

The daylight and the lamplight or even in darkness seems no useful to them . Maybe when I am getting old enough also like that.dunno

Anyhow,just hope he is in good living state in bed.

Hope you have a great day!hug
I could go on with many old age stories but I will mention this one only.

Many years ago my friend's mother passed away and the Dad hysterically mourned and cried continuously for a long time. It was so sad, so I can see what your going through.

Just keep your patience and I will pray for you and you Dad.
