blood everywhere
So Dan had another - "sad" day in terms of mood - cried a lot. kept saying just one more… I think he means one more day of being normal ( I don't know) lately his communication has been less than stellar . But I had to work till noon and Blain and Beth had charge of him - it was also IV hydration day. He always has to stay in bed for this - the worry of a fall with the IV port in is to much - if the port where to get torn and or of course the fall risk as always …… But Beth and Blain are with him and here him snapping his fingers.. He had played with the connection and blood was everywhere.. the kids panic ( who wouldn't) one calls me the other calls home health - i am like call 911 if the is that much blood , but the home health nurse was right in the area and came over immediately and checked it out - apparently what ever dan managed to do made the port reverse the hydration process - so he was pumping out ( like siphoning) instead of have liquid put in.- but the nurse old pro got it all under control. Meanwhile i left work as soon as i could. I didn't even tell the boss why, as i feel i over share my life already in terms of how much does this poor guy want to hear…. I was late the other morning due to a SH-t show as i called it … we had BM in the bed everywhere…. I am so enjoying working but just having everything in place for dan "just right" alone is exhausting…. and I do have surgery on Tuesday - the doc said shouldn't be a big deal -- so i hope not …. we shall see. life would be so much better at a hemoglobin of 10,11, or 12 than a 7,8, or 9 ….
