Sorry to ruin the image my dad has made of Karen but she has actually helped out more than he will ever know or admit! His brain is still healing and having issues seeing truths and facing facts right now.
You and I both know it was a lot more than that! Alcohol is a major issues dad! And I "farmed out" your tortoises cause they were dying! They are all in happy health homes with people that will love to return them when you can care for them, but you can't even care for yourself right now! Time...
Sorry it's been so long. He is very ready to leave the nursing facility but can't. He is angry because he wants to leave but at the same time asked me the same questions in two phone calls 45 minutes apart tonight. :-/ Tomorrow we will be having a much needed conference call with the facility as...
Talked to him last night for a while. He sounds a bit better but still forgetful. He told me to tell you all hello! I can't wait to get up there Saturday to see him! I'll know more after that about how he is doing. He sounds fine on the phone but in person you really get a better picture of how...
I'm gonna make one of the nurses take him a phone later today so I can call him. Unfortunately I can't make it up there until Saturday :-( He remembers the forum but not who exactly everyone is. When I was reading him posts when he was in the hospital he was saying "I think I know who that is"...
Moving on you can find me on Facebook and message me there if you please. You will know if it's my page when you see what I've posted publicly about my dad!
He was moved to a rehab facility today. He isn't happy about this, but it needs to happen. He doesn't have a personal phone there which...
I must have missed that somewhere...even for something like this? It will all be applied to his medical funds and probably be what pays for his rehab, which is very much so needed :-/
So this is what I know and think I understand so far...
They are leaning against surgery because the fracture looks stable. I expressed my concern of him having another seizure and dislodging it. It turns out that when he had his first blood draw the drug he takes for his seizures was 40 points...
I've tried to call the nurse twice today and both times she is on the phone and says she would call me back. I wish he was at my hospital but we don't have a neuro floor like they do in Salem.
Just got off the phone with my dad. He didn't know my voice until I told him who I was :-( Still no news from the docs. In the mean time Karen and I are trying to find foster homes for the reptiles. Karen is taking care of the cats and Ava, so no worries there. If you are interested in helping...
