Edit 1: The venue acoustics will also factor heavily too.
Edit 2: ooh! Didgeridoos! Also best if live.
In an ICU room. I was the visitor. The patient had dozed off. I had a client wanting reports for a board meeting. Finance does not pause for family emergencies.

Tree frogs like to hang out on my windows at night (aka the bug buffet). And the cats absolutely love to watch them. If one gets within arm’s reach, they will try to swat it, not realizing of course the frog is on the outside.
One time a frog did sneak inside and found out that the air conditioning wasn’t worth the death wish.
I just spent a few days sitting with my FIL in hospital. We binged Gunsmoke. I am a reluctant fan of Festus now.
Fall risk?

This is essentially the same story with my in laws. MIL is gone. FIL is getting angrier day by day without her to be his bullshit caller. He won’t behave himself when he’s 1 on 1 with my husband. It’s tearing my husband to pieces.
And he’s barely still able to live on his own. He’s been hospitalized 3 times in the 10 months since MIL passed. I noticed that if we have more contact with him, he does better, we catch things and can intervene. But if we go low contact because of hateful behavior then we get blindsided by a hospital trip where we drop everything and screw our schedules all up to deal with his illness & recovery.
It fucking sucks. I think I’ve started treating him as I would a dementia patient just to be able to be around him. I like another poster’s tactic of declaring something batshit “seems meanspirited”. Maybe it will curb the worst of it. Who knows.
I’m sorry for you, me, anyone who struggles with whether to sever contact with a (formerly or currently) loved one.
