Papaw
He's home from the hospital now.. I was there last night but he was sleeping so I didn't get any photos - but I did get a couple of him in the hospital. I took him a Reese Cup and he sure did scuff that up fast.. lol.. he sure loves those sweets.
He loves to hollar.. just hollar like he's in the world's worst pain.. and it makes Mom crazy.. scares her to death.. she'll ask him what's wrong and he'll look at her like he doesn't know what she's talking about.. then when she walks away he laughs.. or grins, like I caught him doing here...
He'll say, "Boy I got her goin'.. " He loves to do that!

He got his new Power Chair.. a Jazzy, the day he went into the hospital. It's really neat.. and candy apple red. He tried it out yesterday, but Mom said he's a little scared of it.
I sure wouldn't mind having a car that color!
He's done a lot of sleeping since he's been home..and his appetite isn't that good. I think he's just tired.. just wore out. He just turned 84, and I don't know, maybe hitting that number just took the oomph out of him - he just seems too tired now to open his eyes. He got out of bed twice today, he's had his showers and sits in his wheelchair, but before long he's sleeping again, and he's getting harder to rouse once he's gone to sleep. He was always a light sleeper so that's pretty new to us.
I'm gonna go in the morning and stay with them a while. I'll see if I can't get some pics of him using his Power Chair then.
