I was on the brink of tears this morning and couldn't figure out why. I over analyze everything, so of course I thought it was my depression rearing it's ugly head again. Then it dawned me; I am exhausted, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I am just whipped. :frown1:
Dad is still in the hospital and mom and I have spent most of our days and nights with him there.
Daddy was supposed to come home yesterday but apparently his blood pressure dropped too low and he almost fainted so they moved him to ICU.
Forgot to mention that Monday they had to put a stent in. It is a relatively minor procedure. but for some reason Tanner-Villa Rica couldn't do it they had to transport him to Tanner -Carrolton via ambulance then back to Villa Rica. It's only 20 minutes away but none of us were thrilled with him having to leave and come back as dad doesn't always adjust to change very well lately.
The nurses in the ICU suck! The good ones are inattentive. The rest are surly, inconsiderate, and totally lacking in compassion or basic common sense. After much questioning of his nurse and at the nurses desk we were able to find out that his blood pressure dropped because of the stalevo, so they took him off it. The problem with that is that the stalevo is his Parkinson's medicine. When we got there yesterday we were shocked and frightened to find dad trembling, slurring his words, and generally disoriented. It took 2 hours to find out what they had done or not done. Grrrrrr! They acted like we had no right to question or be informed of his treatment.
My Meneiere's was acting up so I didn't go to the hospital with mom today. She got back a little while ago and said he was doing fine and should be released tomorrow.
