Tuesday's update:
Dad
----
Am waiting on a call from the gerenterologist to learn why he refuses to increase my dad's nutrition to 10 cans / day. That's what dad needs in order to maintain a healthy weight. I am bamboozled that the dr. will not believe what dad's GP, and dad's nutritionist both say is required to maintain a healthy weight.
Also want to learn how much longer he thinks Dad needs to stay there.
talked with the consulting neuropsychologist. Gave him the run down on dad. He is not going to change any meds. Yeah!
Learned that dad has 42 medicare days left for a skilled nursing facility. This is a good thing.
Mom
----
she has had a bad headache due to Morfine. Got that switched to Dalaudid (sp?) Her xrays this a.m. showed that she is improving very slowly.
I called the gastroenterologist and asked her to consult w/ the surgeon and call me tonight after she'd made rounds.
Also got dental appointments made for both parents for the month of August.
Now I'm off to bring in mail, pick up newspapers, feed their cat, take care of some laundry at their house and leave a key w/ their next door neighboor so they can handle the first 3 items on this list for me until mom gets back home.
Ugh.
And now my kids are grumpy. So am I.
