I talked to the nurse as the neurologist had told me to do, and she said it was too soon to tell if the meds were working because the old ones have to work their way out of his system - call her back on Wed. So two more days of suffering!
I called the company we are getting the bed and mattress from but only got the salemen's answering machine. left a message but he has not called back. John now has gauze patches taped on both hip bones to try and protect them as he sleeps as they are on the verge of developing pressure sores.
Tomorrow John goes for his yearly visit to the eye specialist. I had planned on using Handydart to take him there but when I called you apparently have to download an application on the internet, take it to the doctor to get it signed, and mail it in. So I will have to use other means tomorrow. If it was like today, I could have just pushed him over in his wheel chair because it is only a few blocks away - but I hear tomorrow is going to be rainy and nasty. I understand there are taxi's that take wheelchairs so we will use one of those.
I suddenly realized today that I would have to cancel the care worker for tomorrow and then I further realized that that means I lose my respite day. However, it takes a year to get this appointment so I am definitely not going to change it!!
Two thumbs down for today.
