Patient evidences some restlessness. Asked to go outdoors. Patient enjoyed sniffing grass, turning nose into the wind, and raking at some dirt. Engaged in public urination. Was warned by nursing staff not to urinate on the decorative vegetation. Patient ignored this request. Returned indoors, drank some water, and rested in bed.
Patient became vocal at 4 pm, requesting early dinner. This was provided stat, and patient consumed 95% of his dinner of creamed veal and gravy, along with a pinch of Missing Link. He still seems a bit hesitant to eat from bowl, but nursing staff encouraged him with some food on their fingers, and directed him to his bowl. This approach was successful.
Nursing staff notes eyes are more focused and bright, gait has returned to normal, and patient attitude is improving.
Staff report patient is a bit demanding at times, but that they believe this makes him all the more lovable.
Roommates continue to check in with patient on occasion, and one visitor (black and white pit mix) offered support by lying near patient and staring at him. Patient appears to appreciate visitors. He is receiving more gifts in the form of "onesies" and a new tee shirt emblazoned with "Top Dog", in an attractive camo pattern, given by assorted admirers and friends. Feline roommates report jealousy, but recieved extra attention from staff, calming any potential uprisings on the ward.
Next Shift: Please monitor for feline outbursts, evidenced by loud yapping and gum smacking from patient.
Next update coming soon.
