On HOLD..

I went to the hospital early today and could not stay long.  Dad had just had a shower and was working on using upper body strength to maneuver across the room and lower himself into a chair.  He does take the path of least resistance so the Occupational Therapist has his work cut out for him. :)
Dad had the foot wound wrapped up so I didn't get to see it, but when I was talking with him about getting released, and I thought it might be tomorrow (Monday), the therapist shook his head and said he really doubted he'd be going anywhere before Tuesday.  I really hope to talk w/a doctor or two tomorrow to get more details.  His release date is To Be Determined...

Uncertainty tonight

I had spoken w/Sue earlier in the day and she said dad got irritated quickly while they were talking.  It was a little nonsense issue, but he was quick to elevate.   So, I called dad tonight on the hospital phone when I got back home.  It was about 8:30. He had been frustrated that his cell phone wasn't working correctly... I told him I would call his cell and we'd check it out.  Once he answered and heard me on the other end, and I could hear him fine... he realized his phone was working just fine.  But the rest of our conversation was disjointed.  I asked him if he was tired.. he said yes,.. he'd been through some therapy and he was tired.  I heard a nurse in there and she said his temperature was 100.2.. he had not had anything over 98.7 since he'd been in there so that does not make me feel good.  I will check on that tomorrow too.

Feel free to call him

You can google the hospital:  St. Davids Round Rock, he's in room 210.  If you call his cell, it automatically answers on the 3rd ring so if he doesn't have it connected to him, you will hear what is going on in the room. You can either hang up and call the room, or just listen in and giggle ??

Nite!
