Hello again,
We have another "removed" cousin today, Paula......so now Rebecca, Leah, David and Paula can wowrk on some sort of family tree, or, maybe a bush?
Got here about 8 this morning. Fred had a lousy night, was up most of it. I'm sure you all know the last place to get some rest is a hospital. I think I mentioned he has a system that he controls to deliver pain medication. He has a little thingy with a button he needs to push. This is good as there is no waiting for meds but bad because he needs to do it, a lot. They set him up yesterday and maybe today they can adjust the amount he gets.
The plan is to get him up, moving a little and sitting in the beside chair. The issue last night: someone was a little rough turning him on his side. It took about two hours of button pushing to get the pain back under control. I just had a talk with his nurse, she'll make sure he's comfortable before getting him up this morning.
He will get up in about an hour and sometime this morning I'll give him a shave and get his teeth brushed. I know he would be much happier if I got him a medium rare rib eye, or a corned beef sandwich, a coney island hot dog, or a big fat cheeseburger but a toothbrush will have to do.
Back later today, Chuck
PS: I picked up a cell phone last night, 925-642-3894. Call if I'm not here and you would like to talk. It's one of those buy and use minutes so if you could talk fast and use short sentences I would appreciate it. Do I need to say I am joking? Really, you don't need the short sentences but still, talk fast.
