Grandpa continues to be more and more confused as the day goes on.  I'll try to explain but it may not make any sense.  He has been correlating certain objects with numbers.  For example his body is ONE, his shirt is TWO,  his boots are FIVE... But he can't keep them straight himself, and often changes which number goes to what, which is frustrating to him because he feels that these numbers are very important.  As the day goes on he is getting more and more frustrated over it and more and more confused.  The hospice nurse recommends that we give him enough Morphine that he sleeps. That way he isn't just sitting around stressing about these numbers and getting more and more frustrated and agitated.
