18:3793673My father was well looked after at WmHarveyHospital for a month, leading up to his death. Aged 93.
When he was unconscious for the last week or so, the nurses read things out loud to him to provide something to stimulate the brain.
They could not have been more considerate.

20:5893702So glad your Dad is doing ok Melissa. Having been through the same thing last November myself I know what a tough time he must have had, pleased he has been so well cared for. Tell him to take it easy as it's going to take him a good 6 - 8 weeks or more to feel like his old self again
