Pineapple Anyone?

I hung out with Dad all day yesterday. He's struggling with Alzhiemers. He's married to the sweetest lady in the world, has been for more than fifty years. Any who, he made it to the hospital again this weekend. This time he "fell down and can't get up!" only it was my brother and mom calling 911 for help. He's ok. Just confused. So we hung out.

Pineapple King, because just a couple weeks ago, he went to the hospital after eating an ENTIRE pineapple, the rind and core. It made him sick. In this picture I said be goofy, drop your teeth or something, he did!
They left a box of gloves in the room and I told Dad that was dangerous. We gloved him. I told him when the nurses come in to tell them the following:
  • I am wearing gloves because I am germaphobic or
  • Hold up his hands and say, "I'm ready for my exam !"

Next we cut off the finger tips of his gloves. I gave him the pile of tips and I told him to tell them he bit them off because he was nervous. Well, we took pictures... it was good. Today was not. He doesn't remember all of our laughs, but I do :)

I cannot believe he ate an entire pineapple. That is so completely awesome.
