From Chapter 20: “On one of the occasions I went to visit my father he was fast asleep, so I left him a note. My handwriting is bad, so in it I said if he could not read it to get it taken to the pharmacy and see if they gave him anything interesting. One of the nurses and he finally managed to translate what I had said, and it certainly caused a laugh amongst the nurses. This is not the actual message I left, but something similar I came across on Facebook."
