Mom was pretty upset with the way Dad was tonight, so she's staying at my house.
I truly believe it was the meds that made him so wonky.
When Doc Ukreet was there the other day, he said their main focus was to get him pain free, and stronger so he can go home.
I don;t know about you guys.. but if that were me I'd want to be home.
The nurse at Kennedy said patients do better at home.. their own bed, or chair, own food, etc...
and you're not being constantly reminded that you're sick.
I know it's scary to think of him coming home, but keep in mind he'll have a nurse come and check him..
The social worker said medicare will only pay for 2 or 3 or 3 or 4 days of nurses per week.. but he's got Aetna, too.. they should pick up a day or two, right?
Wan.. you're good at getting thru that kind of bullshit.. lets see if we can get a nurse paid for 7 days a week.
He's got no heart monitor on now, no IV, it's just the PT which they'll also come to the house.. and of course the medical care that is provided there.
I'd like to see him come home before the end of the normal 3 week stay. maybe around the 12th? The poor man has been in a hospital for 3 weeks...
