Dad is back!

Dad was fantastic all day today. We watched a movie with him and he followed the movie without falling asleep. He was aware what was happening and commented frequently. We had normal conversation with him almost all day. When he gets really tired he starts making up stories and seeing things that aren’t happening. Today we enjoyed a long day with him and it was the best day in a long time. We really needed something to lift our spirits.

We noticed they never check his vital signs or do any blood work at the rehab center. I asked the nurse why they don’t check him and she said they only check if there are obvious problems. Since he is stage 4 they are pretty much ignoring him. They give him his meds every day and that’s it. He may still be anemic or his blood pressure may be high or low but we don’ t know. We need to move him to another facility as soon as possible so his own doctor can care for him. Right now he’ s under the care of the facilities doctors who visit once a week. It’s a remote control operation and it’s ridiculous seeing the doctors billing Medicare when they’re never on site.
