Yesterday's Musings

Dad's getting used to his new room. Mom is adjusting as well, because her help is much more needed now. Dad no longer has his own nurse, and finding the nurse assigned to dad can be quite difficult at times. (she has more patients to tend to)

Dad had an interesting evening in his IMU room. Between pain medication, coming out of anesthesia, and probably a bit of difficulty telling the difference between dreams and real life, he had lots to say. The cover on dad's trach has helped him talk quite a bit. He's still somewhat hard to understand, but mom has gotten pretty good at interpreting. Sometimes mom corrected him and reminded him he was in the hospital, other times she just went along with his story.


When we find this "wife" we need to figure out where she's been for the past 3 months.

Too funny to not share! By the end of this he was tired (as was mom). That's a lot of adventure for one evening. In summary it's clear he wants out, idealy going home, but even being pulled on some cardboard will do.
