Physical:
He had another fall. He rarely actually falls so much as just sort of "melts". The aide was trying to get him to the wheelchair. She's very strong, and hadn't had a problem before - I think this rattled her a bit. He lurched the wrong way, and she couldn't hold him - and he "slithered" to the floor. I had to call for help, and she had to make a report.
By the time he was upright and in his wheelchair, it was close to 2:00. He only managed to stay there for about 2 hours (and was whining after 1 hour that he wanted to lay down). Later, after a nurse checked him out, I let him "nap". I believe he was in and out of confusion. In the evening I got him up for about an hour so I could finish making his bed (had had to wash everything, even the blanket) and set up the dialysis.
There were no alarms during the night, but he sounded like he was struggling to breathe all night.
People:
The aide came of course. Then DSS to help A nurse (not the "regular" one) came to make sure there was no damage from his fall. DSS came back later (poor guy, we totally ruined his work day), and shortly after Carl got here, TGF and her boys got here. I rode with TGF and the boys while DSS stayed here with DH. (took trash to the dump, then went to town for a few errands).
Emoions:
Too exhausted to think; but I wasn't
