Final curtain  last story 

Hello everyone 
I thought id go see old man Curls ,
this afternoon 

When I entered the building for the first time ever i did not see one resident anywhere at all 

Maybe its bingo day ? 
Lol

So i made my way to dads room only to find him semi curled up on the bed fast asleep 

I didn’t want to frighten him so gave him a gentle shake and as he woke up my idea sora backfired completely and he got a bit of a fright,   until I spoke much louder as he knows my tone of voice well ,
or so I thought 

But once he was awake i asked him if he knew who i was?

The answer was a quiet No 
I couldn’t believe it 
And i sat down  with him on top of his bed 

The conversation was not good at all,
as apparently his hearing aids have been miss placed somewhere 

I was spewing as i had something important that i wanted to tell him about Wonthaggi  and what a shit hole ,
it has  actually now become 

But that didn’t happen at all and then 
Mum came into the room and i sion got a clearer picture of what happened to his hearing aids 

There is something special going on on there tomorrow and dad wants to attend , but he cant hear , 
So whats the point 

I said to mum that i found my old hearing aids charger containing just one  Rh hearing aid  because  i lost one and Amplify  my service provider didn’t ever ring me back with a replacement price or  a replacement  option either 
They were going to 

I wonder if they still charged our government for the maintenance on  them  though, as i had just signed up for a new twelve month maintenance contract with their company 

So it was agreed that i  will just charge it up ,
and drop it in tomorrow for the old bugger 

Then a nurse cane in  with a medical cart full of patients medication ,
to give dad a few tablets 

This was not a great experience  at all for dad me or  mum  either as he struggled badly just to get the first one down the hatch and the nurse had to lubricate the rest of them and spoon feed  them to him . 

When it was over i asked dad what the lubricant tasted like because the first pill he told the nurse it was nice.
He must have changed his taste buds then because the second one he screwed his face up  so bad for  a second ,
That it distorted  lol

I made a stupid joke that didn’t go  down that well with mum i thought i was funny as but mum certainly didn’t 
Dad didn’t even hear it 

So i said to mum 
Why dint  they  just cut the pills in half , 
to make it a sinch to administer ?

Mum said they are not actually  allowed to 
I thought ok 

So Why don't the manafacturers  half the size of the pills and stop the  oldies torture? 
Mum said she had asked dad’s doctor if he can prescribe dad smaller pills 

The answer is a resounding No 

That sucks so bad 
i am not that impressed at all
Dignity disappears fast enough , 
without the pharmaceutical manufacturers help 

So  i say goodbye 👋 and off i wander then ,
to go see Max. 
He was awake tucked tight in bed just watching tv ,
so i sat next to him in the chair 

This was the first time ever i said something  to him that he didn’t really like ,
but he had to lay there and listen to me bag up the Hawks and Rub the Dees  brilliance in his face 

I must admit he took it quite well and  then he started to speak to me 

I talked positive stuff to him like about how good a job that his son is doing at the  farm ,
and how proud i knew he was of his boy 

He was shaking and i could see one finger poking out of the  top of the sheet near his face and on his tightly crippled  and distorted hand 
So i held his hand , 
as we spoke and i slowly slipped my finger in between his fist and palm and  he then grabbed on 

We let go soon enough , 
as we are both straight 
And i said goodbye 
To him 

And I then headed  out the door to use up the rest of the day so I'm now one day closer to to my turn at shifting in the Lodge 

I petition the management firm bingo 
And  Hoy

But in life we are all delt a deck of cards to choose from 

We cant ever choose them all
So mostly we rake a punt on what comes next 
The deck is in your hands 

Draw your next card 
And good luck everyone 

Even the scammers 

We all start if as innocent as human beings 
Only some manage to stay that way 
The rest go to 

Cheers xxx
