Back at home...

Dad is having a pretty good day. He slept really well last night with his sister not keeping a close eye on him!! We are going to have to trust that the nurses will watch him closely since being back to work will make it nearly impossible to spend nights with him. He isn't the best patient since he jumps right out of bed in his sleep and has already taken a couple of spills... They haven't made it too easy to trust them so far since last night I was called and told that they asked him what medication he was supposed to be taking! Seriously??!?!?!? You ask a patient who has had an operation on his BRAIN in the last 10 days what medications he is on??? He can't even tell you with 100% certainty what he had for breakfast!!!!!!! There was also a detail list in his file that they just hadn't found yet... you mean, you didn't LOOK FOR IT! oh myyy.... I would not want to be a nurse after watching what they do closely for the last 2 weeks, but I feel that there are some things that common sense should tell you. Like maybe that asking a patient on a neuroserg floor what meds they are on is not the best idea. Anyway, it was all figured out and he is back on track now! He is in pretty good spirits today and was resting this afternoon when I left and has had some visitors since. Dr. Englebrect (sp?) was in to see him this morning. What a nice man. We have been very lucky to score fantastic doctors, and all with great bedside manor. He is supposed to me meeting with Dad again tomorrow. Ok, back in to see him again now!
