Doug spends 3weeks in icu and within days of acute car they want to kick him out! As long as I can do 24hr watch duty at home! Considering his continuing need for regular heavy pain relief, barely out of bed - he managed a stagger down the corridor, and continuing aches and pains, not to mention recent (perhaps still) hydrocephalus... I would think another CT scan prior might be advisable... At least they've refrained from the torture of another lumbar puncture as the pressure was down yesterday. Think it might be wise to give it a day or so before booting him out...new doc (who knew nothing about him) and social worker seemed almost relieved...where did this idea come from?! Certainly not on the cards yesterday....
Least his sore throat seems to have disappeared although I began to not take that seriously when he moaned about the flavor of the menthol and butterscotch lozenges...
Rallied for a Skype chat with the lovely Davies Family. And then not a great day... :(.
Dinner's here...and it's only 4.30pm...no wonder he can't work out night and day... Alas he lost another room buddy in the middle of the night ..hopefully to another floor and not beyond...but it all sounded pretty dramatic....
