Clothes make the man

Due to a laundry machine catastrophe yesterday, Local Hospital has run out of patient gowns. So they're using a bunch of promotional T-shirts they found in the basement.

As a result, my drooling, incontinent 92 year old male stroke patient, with advanced Alzheimer's disease, is wearing a T-shirt that says "I'm a proud new Daddy!"

With little baby footprints under the word "Daddy."

  2. Biggest laugh I've had today! Of course it's before 8:00 AM.

  3. Reminds me of a conversation I had with my mother last week. She takes care of my grandmother. She is usually out of it after dialysis if they get her too dry so as we were speaking last week my grandma, 77 was noding off in her chair in her KU sweatshirt, no pants, in her adult pull-up with her thigh high support stockings on. It struck mw so funny I made my mom take a photo. Dunno why but that is just one of thos memories of Normie I dont wanna forget.

  4. Well ...

    At least he had a shirt. I've been in alleged health care settings where the pts had nothing but diapers (and they were adults)
