DAY PLUS 31 - AUGUST 17, 2008

I need to be patient...I expect too much! Today...Mr. T didn't feel good. He threw up twice this morning (bile) and refused to eat. Later I pushed him in his wheelchair around the hallway twice...and even that was a lot. He was crying with muscle pain...needed hot packs on his legs & hydromorphone for the pain as well as gravol & ativan for nausea. I ran a hot tub for him...and that seemed to help a bit.
Mr. T has lost a lot of muscle in his arms and legs from being in bed so much...so it will take time to strengthen him once again. He promised that tomorrow he will walk a bit on his own. One day at a time!
