He told me his watch was dead, I said I'd take it to get the battery changed. It's an Eco-drive, so he just hasn't been moving enough to keep the watch running. As I was leaving, I brushed the jacket on his arm, and he winced in pain, but said it wasn't my touch. He was able to offer me knuckles as I went to walk away.
Confession: I don't want to take it back to him today, don't want to see him that vulnerable  |
what did he get for treatment? is he taking neurontin (gabapentin) for post-herpetic neurolgia? |
He did have gabe when left hospital. Was all confused when saw Dr yesterday and only asked for more pain meds. Going back early next week
Tonight he's up at the table and wise-cracking TV personalities
