Here it is Monday afternoon, already! How the day flies sitting here staring at the walls! I did go sit in the hallway and watch the activity up and down the halls. Oh, the stories I can make up out there!
Tim is hanging in there - or out there.....I don't know which way anymore. He complains of being sore, bloated, etc. That may pass in a year or so...... (Actually, hope he passes something quicker than that!)
Obviously, not much is new up here, anymore! He is to move onto a little thicker liquid. He can have "whipped" oatmeal. I secretly hope he orders that - I want to see what that is! Someone indicated it is oatmeal that has been in the blender. Sounds interesting.....Might be a whole new way to make it at home!! I'd think he'd be ready for some baby food - like whipped peas and whipped chicken (or is that a chicken that was bad?).
He's really into the morphine drip - and I keep telling him he needs to (eat) something else.
Well, I have the nurses going now.....I asked about some antacid - he has heartburn - and I asked if the painkiller was stopping up what little might be in there.....so now they are in a dizzy trying to figure out how to "dose" both ends. Pain killers will create constipation..... and I was wondering if the morphine could be causing some of the bloating.....
If anyone is interested - I went home last night. It was really nice! Felt like I had been gone for 6 months rather than 4 days. The dogs were glad to have someone to sit with. I will go home again this evening.
