the new medication

Talk about scared speechless, imagine your father not walking for the past year and all of a sudden you start to walk down the 12 step stairway and you see your father half way up the stairway! What do you do? Well you try to not panic, and attempt to stabilize and then call for help without scaring the shit out of him. Ron decided he should just walk up the stairs and take a break then figure it out, how to get him back down. Shocked doesn't explain the feeling I had at that moment. Had he fallen backwards he would've hit his head or broken his neck on the tile at the bottom of stairs. Ron made up the air bed for me to sleep next to his bed, he slept from 10-4am and stayed up since. He attempted to bust out of jail by taking down the rail, a constant reminder from me to stretch your legs out and lets get some sleep till I got up at 7am. Reassessing the entire plan is probably going to be a good idea sometime this week.

Ron and I have noticed he seems to be coming out of his dementia for the time being. Like night and day, the arisept, it's shocking.
