Day 278
Monrday, February 24, 2014
(Note: not at all sure what day I posted this morning, but it
was *supposed* to be for SUNday!!)
Physical:
This was a bit of an odd day.
Apparently all of the different hours caught up with DH; or else he just
felt bad (but never said so). He slept
until 3:00. He woke up from time to
time, but said he still felt sleepy and didn’t want to get up. Even after he did, he dozed off and on in his
chair. And at bedtime he went right on
to sleep.
He slept “restless”, and is groggy this morning; but not
wanting to get up.
I fixed a chicken recipe (a very good one, passed along in my
family), he ate 2 good sized servings.
He was very disoriented (from so much sleep?). An insurance man came by, and he had to sign
for a policy. He tried to tell the man
he had a “previous” address on the form (it was where we are now!). Later, he repeatedly insisted that I call his
mama because she had some information about an insurance policy for him! I didn’t see any particular advantage in
telling him his mama has been gone over 20 years; so I just told him I’d do the
best I could.
People:
The CAN came early. As
said above, an insurance man came in the afternoon.
Emotions:
A lot of sad. And some
frustration this morning. I thought
since the CAN comes so early, this one time he’d be all cleaned up for his appointment. I got up early to shower and dress … and then
she called. A problem came up, so she
won’t be here (just this one day of course) until around 2:00. And,
the hospice MD (or PA or something, who ever it is that took over his
care from the Duke doctor) is coming this afternoon, also around 2:00. Usually he sleeps all afternoon after clinic
.. not today!
My plan to turn his room into a sitting room .. and eliminate
a large percentage of using the wheelchair .. has gone into fast forward. The sooner the better; but I sure do have
to hustle to get the “excess clutter” cleaned up and either boxed up or thrown
away. I won’t be able to do much, if
anything, today. But at least I have
already made a bit of progress.
