950 Nights

    That's how long it's been since he slept in his own bed, almost 2 and a half years ago now. Once in a while he'll say he'd like to be home sleeping in his own bed, but he realizes he can't. The transfer from wheelchair to bed involves two staff members and the Easy-lift.
     He asked about Don again tonight, and I told him Don  was doing well, wants to come home, and that might happen soon. He said he felt sorry for him because he wasn't home yet.
     And 950 mornings have also passed. He always said Good Morning to me no matter what issues there may have been. No longer any Good Night's either.
