8. By that point my father was unable to talk.
He had never been on dialysis (the doctors felt it would be too hard on him and his kidney disease so far gone by the time they discovered it...).

But he would make a face when I tried to feed him, and eventually the nurses told me it would do no good. We knew he was going to die. Really, he surprised everyone by living nearly two weeks after the kidneys shut down.
