We got dad back to the village. Dr. Wagner's associate came in to discharge him. He didn't want to get discharged. He appeared at death's door but they released him anyway. He wanted to wear the hospital gown and hospital robe out but the aides dressed him---he also wanted an ambulance to take him back to the village but that didn't fly either. He could barely stand while in the hospital. When we got him back to the Village the girls all made a big fuss over him and by the time we left he was walking out of the bathroom on his own with the walker. Roy's daughter Barb called and the "death's door" voice came out again for that conversation. The old guy that was in the next bed to him at the hospital, who also sat at his table at the Village died this morning and dad heard the whole process so I know that was upsetting for him too, but he was enjoying telling his other tablemate John all about it when John came down to visit him right before we left his room. Wagner wrote on his discharge papers "allergic bronchitis" as the diagnosis--the ER dr. had said he had pneumonia. The discharge dr. set him up for visiting home health care for a while to help get his strength back. I'm sure he'll enjoy that. He wanted a tray of food as soon as we got him back to the village and he ate EVERY BIT. That is all..... i hope.....
