Ok, Judy, the guy at the table that wouldn't swallow is Anthony Thomasella---he used to come in the store. Pat the couple you're talking about are the Lanes---Alvin and Jane. I saw his name for sure tonight on their door. He is tall (of course he's in a wheelchair), thin, bald, has long thin hands and long fingernails (LOL!) and reminds me of Mr Moore in looks. He's the guy that talked to me a long time about the roses that one day. Anyway, tonight when I went to see them, I could hear Dad yelling about the time I stepped inside the door. There's this big guy named Oscar that's there. Well, he's looking Dad's way (as I'm coming down the hall) and turns to go toward Dad. I take off in a huge hurry, grab Dad's wheelchair and move him. Well, here comes Oscar and wants to know what does Dad want, etc. I told him to go on that I had Dad and he was fine. He then goes 'he needs to straighten that' (pointing to the sofa in the commons area). I told him again to go away. Well, he kept coming back and circling and of course Dad kept yelling. I was afraid to leave before they put Dad in bed. I told Judy I thought Oscar is going to hit me a couple of times! I asked the guy working there tonight if Oscar was confrontational, and he said that Oscar thinks he's in charge of the facility and is always telling people what to do. No he said he wasn't confrontational. One lady asked why is that man yelling and was crying. I guess it scared her. Bless her heart and Dad's. He was awful. SOOO agitated and so out of it. He smiled real big and said there's my baby when he saw me---that's how he did that one night I think he thought I was Mom---Great! LOL! He was SOOOOO tired---he WANTED to go to bed. He kept saying he couldn't hold his eyes open, etc. I pushed him around the facility and took him outside thinking it would calm him down. It didn't. They put him in bed and I swear he was instantly asleep. Mom was Mom. I laughed though and thought WHY am I here---Dad was out of it and Mom knotted up her fist and hit at my hand when I touched her leg! LOL! They are putting Mom in bed now with a lift. It's really cool. It hooks to this 'cushion' thing under her in her wheelchair and hoists her up and over to bed. They said it was easier on Mom because she didn't like being handled and was to help her maybe avoid more skin tears because she doesn't fight this. Anyway, Jamie, I will be glad for you to get here. They are both just not getting any better mentally at all! Ok, I think that's it. OH! They're having a Father's Day Reception on Fri from 2 to 4. I'm going to try to make it. Pat and Pam, will either of you be here on Fri? I know Pat that you're going to Molli's. Are you going Fri or Sat? As for a gift, any suggestions for a group gift and I'll get it again. Ok, NOW, Love you all, Jeanie
