I'm awaiting a call from a Hospice nurse and thought I'd do a little update. Please do not read these entries if you don't want to see some gory details. I think some of you want to know what's happening, some of you don't.
Dad had another rough night. He gets up every few hours. We don't know if it is the shoulder pain or the need to urinate or a combination but it was not a restful night. He would call for Jon when he needed something. He has had a lot of blood in his urine since Friday night, but it is decreasing. We stopped the Warfarin Sat. AM so he could have his eye(s) worked on tomorrow. Hopefully.
Hours later - the Hospice nurse has been here and we made a lot of progress. A hospital bed, table and bedside commode are arriving this afternoon. She looked at his pain meds and said they can easily be increased and with his shoulder pain, probably should be. And now I need to go again. The Hospice delivery truck is on its way. Wow they work fast. What a relief for us.
