Dave's fevers have continued to abate, and the doctor said I can bring food from outside, so he had his first banana in ages.  Otherwise, it was not a stellar day, as Dave felt discouraged, disoriented and anxious.  I blame the nursing staff in part for doing so little for him.  It's easier for them just to let him lie in bed all day, but I think they should have him sit in a chair for at least part of the day, and it wouldn't kill them to give him a shave.  There's a lady who sits in his room all day who is supposed to watch him and make sure he doesn't try to get out of bed and fall.  But if you don't keep the TV on (and Dave hates to have it on all the time) they just fall asleep.  When I left him shortly before dinner, he felt a little better, and curled up for a nap.
