Sorry! put it down to senility.
Keep a careful eye on your Dad won't you? My lovely 97 year-old lost 21/2 stone in 6 weeks because he a) couldn't fancy the disgusting food, even if b) he could have reached it as it was just dumped on his table and c) he wouldn't have been able to get the clingfilm wrapping off and d) he needed help to get the food to his mouth, help that wasn't available. There were plenty of nurses marching around with clip boards, sitting at computers or on the phone, but no-one actually looking after the patients. The system stinks!:mad:

My dad has already lost 5 stone over the last few months, he was a big man 6ft 4 and has shrunk an enourmous amount already, he always loved really good food, all home made, he would never have eaten the slop they served up today, mash pots and chicken chasseur, looked horrrible and no veg at all, we do make sure one of us is there to feed him, and we have decided to all take him extra food in when we go, they served him a childs portion today, he would normally eat 4 times the amount ,

thanks again to you all xx
