D D Ain't this some shit!

Visited hubby today.... and ( shaking my head ) he didn't lie when he told me in the morning that he thought he was going backwards. :0(  It was like watching a feeble old man as I watched him fixate on things ( like his buzzer ) and unsnap it from his shirt and look at it and move it this way and that ever so slowly like he was trying to figure out what it was.  sigh!  I would tell him what it was and snap it back on his shirt pocket and he would do the same thing over and over. 
When it came to eat supper it was touch and feel again. Michelle came right after I did and saw the way he was. Dad that's a sandwich. Dad that's your dessert.  He'd feel and look perplexed over and over. Was eating his tuna sandwich with a fork. Took the sandwich apart and was eating just the side which was PLAIN BREAD. Michelle would show him it was much easier to eat it with the two slices together. NOPE..insisted he always ate his sandwiches with a FORK.   OMG! 
I brought a Power of Attorney form with me. They have no Notary there. Gave me the number of one they use often to call to come in, but she doesn't work weekends.
Hell....I don't think anyone would have believed he knew what he was doing anyway.  sighhhhhhhh!
Not too long after I came a nurses aide brought in a new urinal to catch a clean specimen in the next time he urinated to have it tested for a UTI.  I left almost 3 hours later and asked him right before I left if he had to use it.  Negative.    Also.....I mentioned to someone at the nurses station on his wing that he hadn't gone yet. Something to the effect of them having to force liquids on him was mentioned to me.
Came home ......when I left I had Jill, her middle son Gil and Tracie inside( oh and grandson Trevor ) My Cheryl and Tracie's brother Marty out at the pool, Randy working on the other side yard putting up fencing and the W.B. had just pulled in the driveway. Logan and a friend had just got out of the pool and went with his dad to spend the weekend at his other grandparents up at their beach house in Hampton Beach.
I had a FULL HOUSE the entire day. I shit you not!
I spent half the day on the phone it seemed. My son in FL was ......through the Miracle of Technology working in my computer here in MA and I had the phone to my ear as I watched him operate my computer. :0) He got a Durable Power of Attorney form up and filled it in and all I had to do was Print It. All for naught today, BUT he tried to be of HELP. 
Okay ....so where was I ????    FINALLY everyone leaves except for Tracie and Jill and the W.B. whom left as we did.  Jill said she wouldn't be out long as she has to be up to get ready to work at 7 a.m.
 BIG COOKOUT ....everything from SOUP TO NUTS.
Tracie and I are headed the same way they were.THEY pulled into the Moose Hall parking lot and we continued on to Khols.   This was around 7:15 p.m. mind you.  From Kohls , Tracie wanted to eat at Boston Market which is just a few hundred yards from the Rehab where hubby is. I decided after we ate to go check on him. It was 9:15 p.m. He was sound asleep ......and that new urinal was....Still unused.
I went to the nurses station and his nurse gives me the line that she has to check with his aide to see what time she brought it to his room. I let her know that it was brought into him just after 4 p.m. and it's NOW 9:30 .  I'll have someone go wake him and stand him up to use the urinal she said.   To which I replied that THIS WAS NOT GOOD. He is declining and that is what happens when he has an infection like a UTI. 
He has complained of stomach pain the past two days too. 
This brings me to NOW... It's a few minutes of eleven and I am going to bed.
Jill is STILL not home..... Guess her and my idea of time are two DIFFERENT things. I shit you not!

Saturday.....

Heard Jill come in......could have been midnight. ??? I know I tossed and turned for some time before I heard her. 
I woke a few times during the night with my aches ...would shift positions and fall right back to sleep. 
Sometime around 6 I decided I had had enough of....bed.   I won't mention the dog shit pile in the diningroom that I cleaned up. LIKE...Who did it and ran??????  Began to make my coffee and someone behind me came out of Jill's bedroom to go use the bathroom.  YEP....you guessed it.  The Whine Bucket.   I hope the efffin two of them have pounding heads at work today.  I shit you not!   
It's minutes after 7 a.m. and I still haven't poured my first cup of coffee. Been musing....remembering a small part of a dream, reading blogs, commenting, watching the clock as to wishing it was more like 8 so I could call hubby and see how he is doing and have let the LEAD settle in my ass! Now how lazy is that ????? :0(
The afore mentioned two are probably wishing the clock would STOP as they have to be at work at 8. He at the firestation and her prepping food for a cookout and later ....serve it and grille foods. .
   It will be just me, MYSELF and I  until Randy comes later to continue working making repairs and improvements.   :0)  

An after thought......Tracie didn't come in when she dropped me off around 9:45 ish last night. :0)
I told her as we were eating I was heading STRAIGHT TO BED and she actually LISTENED.

Okay, I'm going to rise and let the blood go down to my feet as.... it's settled in my arse.  COFFEE!!!

Called hubby at 7:45 a.m. and his voice sounded STRONG!
Almost got hopeful until he told me he fell out of bed last night......orrrrrrrrrrr was it the night before.
Long story short....I called the nurses station. It was NOT HE, but Ira his room mate that fell last night.
I called him back to tell him and he said he kept hearing "get up", and his legs hurt bad so he thought it was him. sigh!  He told me that he just heard someone say to Ira...your nose is bleeding again.  He is a small frail man and is tube fed. His bed has a sign that says to keep him at a 45 degree angle at all times. 
    Did I mention that I am on my second piece of pie this morning. The first was apple and now I'm eating the last piece of blueberry pie. :0(  Neither one can be HEALTHY FOOD STUFF!  I shit you not!
Hubby told me he had "the runs" last night and the nurse said not that she was aware of. Maybe she is the daytime nurse and didn't look at his records and maybe he has it confused with the night before last. 
They DID send out his urine sample this morning. :0)  Asked when he got his pain med and it was a half hour before my call so it hadn't kicked in yet.  He was IN PAIN so I thought I'd ask and called him back to let him know it was Ira that fell and he did get his pain med. 

Went into Office Word earlier and typed out all my questions to this W.C. attorney nice and neat from the scribbled notes I have been making. :0)   To be quite frank.....II don't care if I piss him off!
I WILL HAVE Jill's divorce attorney Roland do the DPOA Monday if hubby is cognitive. IF is the Key Word!
Like I said,  he sounds good this morning . His voice is strong and he even joked with me about coming there earlier today.  :0)  Any way..........I'll play it by ear and go there before noon Monday to see how he is.

Now it's ten thirty and I have probably had all the quiet time I am going to have today.  Had the washer and dryer running, but they didn't interrupt me or my train of thought. :0)  

OH!  When I mentioned this morning that I thought they would be in earlier.... I was told that was their intention , BUT Lisa was  playing Karaoke ( she worked her son Ryan's wedding ) and no one was participating.  It was Paul P's birthday and IF THE W.B. didn't sing to the songs....it would have been a lousy night for her.  The W.B. loves karaoke... I shit you not!
Whatever floats their boat ! Like i said I hope They BOTH SUFFER today.

Time to stop making excuses not to do anything around here, BUT it is sooooooooooooo peaceful that I just want to go lie on my bed and be alone with my thoughts. 
Going to take the phone off the hook and hope son Randy comes after noon time. 
It's almost 11 a.m.      Just give me ONE HOUR!!!


That's All Folks!
