| Sleepy Head |
After his interview at the spa/rehab/victory lakes, he told them that he was very nervous and he wanted something to calm his nerves. At 12:00 midnight, after consulting and getting approval from the doctor, they gave him ativan 1 mg. The drug was way too strong for him and he slept the whole day. He started in the wheelchair; then rocking chair (which he loved) and back to the wheelchair. To get food down him or medication was a chore. I phoned the doctor and he said that perhaps 1 mg (which is a normal dose for most people) is way too much for him. I told them not to give him any of that any more. They said the are making a note of it in his record. When Rosemarie & I left at 7:00 pm, we managed to get a little food in him and he even said "I love you more". They were going to put him to bed and perhaps after they give him his last swishing medicine for his throat, he may get only a sleeping pill. We expect to see him bright and early for his 8:00 am breakfast. I clocked the mileage and it is exactly 5 miles from our home. It beats the 11 or so miles to Condell, especially traffic wise. No pictures today as I don't want to remember him this way nor does he want to see himself that way.
