Day 165

Day 164
Tuesday, November 5, 2013
Physical:
What a weird day.  He stayed in bed all day.  I think he would have gotten up in the early afternoon but I goofed on getting laundry done, so had nothing for him to wear.  And, he went to sleep.  In the late afternoon (around 4:00) he wanted to get up to use the commode.  
I was trying to keep an eye on him, but the phone rang.  And in the short time I was gone, he deccided to get up.  He landed on his knees, leaning over the bed.  I tried and tried to get him up.  I tried to call DSS and TGF, but didn't get answers.  In the meantime, he lost his grip and slid over onto the floor.   In the process, the catheter got hung on the bed frame and came apart.  I caught it quickly enough, and got it clamped.  But then I had to call the dialysis nurse to come out here yet again and repair.  
Because of the antibiotic, I had to wait much later than usual to start the dialysis (to allow the antibiotic to dwell at least 5 hours).  He did eat well though, for a change.  
His hearing is getting really bad, that's a conceern.
People:
The CNA came as usual.  The neighbor brought over a plate of food (nothing he would eat, but I enjoyed it).   
I finally got hold of TGF in the evening, and she came with her oldest son to help me get DH up off the floor.  And, as mentioned, the dialysis nurse came out and got him put back together.
Emotions:
The nurse came early this morning.  She keeps telling me I need to talk with "family" (meaning sons) because I can't keeP doing this alone.  Well ... I can if I have to.  My DS lives 2 hours away, and has a job, a wife with health issues, and 2 very active teens.  DH's son is trying to run his own business; his GF is working full time, going to school full time, and has 3 active boys that are into sports, church, etc.  No body has time to be out here any more than they already are.  TGF sort of knows how it is; DSS is even more into denial than I am (at times).  
I just can't stop being sad all the time.
