being non verbal most of the time

I hate the fact my father doesn't talk anymore, this has been the hardest for me to accept.  At times it's nice because he doesn't cuss out loud anymore but being able to answer questions would be nice.  This morning my husband got up to use the bathroom at 6ish and heard him banging on the wall, I went in after he told me and I found him on the floor.  Asking him if he's ok is a challenge because he can't really tell you what hurts, he will only shake his head.  So watching him, the way he moves and acts is the best way.  So say goodbye to the yelling or calling out, it is no more.
