It is like a rollercoaster ride with my dad. Yesterday he was so agitated that he kept trying to take the IV and the other stuff off because he’s going home (he’s not) but in his head he is not staying. I was there for about 6 hrs and my mom for over 7 hrs and the whole time he was begging us to get things off he’s got to get out of there. It’s so discouraging. Earlier before we got there, they had him sitting up on the side of the bed exercising his leg, so all he kept saying is he’s got to move his leg more and there not doing it enough. They told us not to do it with him because he has to be held to do it. It was exhausting. They gave him Adavan (sp?) to try to calm him a little and it made it worse. They gave him something to sleep before we were leaving and they tried to get him comfortable and told us to leave. My mom called a couple hours later and he was still at it. He did not sleep much the night before and was so tired yesterday but would not give up. He had to be exhausted. The nurse said they were going to give him something with his night meds that he had Saturday night when he was like that that worked within a couple minutes to get him to sleep. Hopefully he finally got some rest.My mom will call this morning when she gets up and see. It just kills me hearing him begging us to help him go home.
Covid….Joseph did an at home Covid test yesterday that was negative so he went to a place in town to get a Rapid Test, and that was also negative. His taste and smell is starting to come back a bit too. It is weird, when I look at the sign at the hospital with Covid symptoms listed, not one Joseph had except the loss of smell and taste and that didn’t happen until 3 days after his cold symptoms.
Also, one of my little cousins who is 11 years old tested positive for Covid. She is diabetic so we are a little concerned for her but so far she is doing okay.
Workout yesterday before going to the hospital was Jenny Ford Coast to Coast Hawaii Interval Step.
