Well, for Mom, today was not as good of a day. She was tired all day, and refused both PT and her shower. She was feeling a little blue by the time I got there in the evening. By the time I left, she was doing much better and was looking forward to a good night's sleep.
I asked the nurse if the "House Doctor" had come by, and she said yes, but he did not write any orders for Mom's prescriptions. UGH! So, she called his answering service and said she needed to talk to him immediately. He called back, and she was able to get him to order the meds we had been requesting. Not a fan of that man...
So, after my pep talk today, a good night's sleep, and the correct meds, tomorrow promises to be a good day for Dorothy. She does keep asking me to bring her a phone, but I am just not sure I want to do that. The CNA's keep telling me that she will be up at 1:00 am asking them to call me, and they don't, thank goodness. I can only imagine what she will do with a phone. I am just going to keep putting it off until I can think of a really good excuse for her not to have one. Wish me luck with that one.
Mom really enjoyed a visit from our friend's the Helmantoler's today. And she was so pleasantly surprised when one of the CNA's that we like so much gave her a get well card thanking Mom for letting them care for her. It is the little surprises in life that make it so special.
Dad was ok tonight. Still congested from his allergies, but he ate quite a bit of his dinner...Well, quite a bit for him anyway. All he would say to me was "Hmmmmm-hmmmmm..." If he wanted to say no, then he wouldn't say anything at all...I did get a "Stop!" at one point when he didn't want any more potatoes, but that was the extent of our conversation.
Much love!
