Day 307

Day 307

Monday, March 24, 2014

This morning DH is still not doing well.  The CAN has come and gone.  She called the nurse twice while here.  When she got DH washed, every time she moved his right leg or hip and wimpered that it hurt.  I gave him a dose of pain med, and also rubbed some pain relief gel on both areas.  The CAN checked again before she left, and he  still moaned when we tried to just straighten his leg a little.  I have no idea what caused him to be in such pain; it’s odd because the one constant all along has been that he wasn’t in any pain.

Also,  per the nurse, there’s no need for me to keep trying to give him pills.  He’s having more and more trouble swallowing them; he doesn’t want to drink anything; and they’re seriously not really benefitting him any more (especially the anti-rejection drug that is responsible for many of his problems).

It’s Monday morning.  It’s very cold, but sunny.  I don’t feel anything right now.  I don’t know what I should be doing.  I suppose in a little while I will call his sister.  And perhaps it’s time to worry about cleaning the house.  But for now, I guess I’ll just go feed the outside critters.
