Ok Everyone. Here we are - all worrying and fretting over poor sickly Dennis-Dad-Grandpa.
I stayed by his side for over 2 weeks because I feared to leave him alone. I've been helping him up and down stairs, dressing him, etc....
Well - worry-no-more Dear Ones! The gig is up; the patient lives!
On Monday I had made plans to meet a friend for lunch and Den was "safely" tucked in. I told him I'd only be away for 2 hours.
Yesterday as we were going to the local doctor I noticed that Den had his keys and his wallet already in his pants - ??? whatever...
Today, Wednesday, we had to go to City of Hope, a journey of 53 miles one way. This requires the comforts of the truck! I get in the truck but the mirror is moved, the seat is in the wrong place and - there is not enough gas to make the journey - what???? When we got to CofH I needed to pay the valet service and asked where would I find an ATM - Den says "I have cash." hmmmm He hands me his wallet and there is a wad of 20s - ok - he's been sneakin' out when I thought he could barely make it to the bathroom.
Poor Den - he forgets about my "seeing eyes". I came home and checked the banking - sure enough he had managed to get out while I was at lunch and make a withdrawal.
So there you have it - the man has a will! You're climbing the stairs on your own, now, Buddy!
Oh My Gosh.

Honestly, I can see myself doing the same thing someday. Sad.
Greaat. Look out everyone!! I think there needs to be an interrogation.
