When I picked him up after discharge, he told me that he ran from room to room looking for my car. “Sometimes, I’d just see your tail lights as you drove by.”

It broke my heart. I told him that I was not allowed to visit the entire time and there are a lot of cars same color as ours.

“I knew what time you arrived for work in the morning and when you were thru work.” (I am retired)

“I ran from room to room, just trying to catch a glimpse of you.”

My heart is aching – - -
(I forgot to mention that he ended his story with the Peep*ng T*m note – I wondered if maybe a staff said he couldn’t (understandably) go into a patient’s room in order to look out their window:)

This small thing has helped him/me.

I put filtered water on a towel in small jars by the fridge. If it’s in the fridge, he has to figure out where the fridge is, which compartment to open. If he sees it readily, it saves a lot of frustration.
