The nurses caught him at that and put him back in bed I don't believe heard my father get as tickled in 40 years as when he recounts the story After awhile the nurses found him wandering around the room again They asked him what he1 thought he was doing He said1 why he was just trying to find his way back to the hospital He thought he was up at Dana and itj was time for him to be getting back i After that they put sideboards' on his bed so he couldn't get outj But he thought some strange men in the room were after him andj in trying to get away he worked his legs out through the spaces in the sideboard and got caught and all tangled up and was hanging practically upside down when the nurses found him After that they put the on his hip to keep him in bed for sure Ha hasn't had any nightmares since My father really seems to relish being in the hospital He has a nice corner room where he can look out at the front lawn and see people come in His general health is good and he looks fine The nurses give him a bath every morning and one of them shaves him He says the hospital food is wonderful They've really converted him down here He has never eaten butter nor drunk coffee in his life he's consuming both and loving it He has about 10 visitors a day and he keeps his door open all the time for fear he'll miss something going on out in the hall The Clinton hospital like hospitals all over the country I'm told is producing more babies than at any time in history As one of the nurses said "The Army is sure shelling out the babies" My dad is quite struck with this wholesale addition to the population and every morning asks the nurses the score for the night He and the nurses make jokes about it My dad is scared to death they'll get mixed up and take him to the delivery room some day MY DAD is neither blind nor deaf but he is a little of each His eyes are so bad people have to read his letters to him and you have to speak rather loud to him Which leads to a little story The night I arrived several members of our family met the train and we drove right to the hospital The folks hung back so I could go ahead Into the room alone So I went In and my father held out his hand and we talked together for about a minute and then the rest of them came in He greeted them all and then asked if they had been to the depot yet They said yet and then my dad said: Ernest come?"
