The further Dad gets down this path to transitioning to the other side, the more physical and emotional difficulties he encounters - and the grumpier he gets. At times he can be downright mean. The aides are mostly young girls and struggle with knowing how to help. When Dad was feeling better he was their favorite patient because he would always have cute little comments and jokes for them. He still does at times but most of the time not.

I found this sign on his white board, obviously written by a sweet aide just trying to help.
