Busy night ahead. I have a PTA meeting and DH is trying DD to her dance classes.

 

[kaylajr]

Just checking in

ANy word from Kathy??

I didn't see anything when I quickly read back

 

[kaylajr]

Going to see DGF was SO HARD!!!

But i am VERY GLAD i went

i learned just how strong I can be when i have to be

sorry if this gets long

DH and i got there about 9:15

His one nurse was leaving she told us he wouldn't eat anything just a few sips of milk and he was refusing to wear his Oxygen mask

so she left and DH sat in the chair on one side and I went to the other and tried to get him to put the O2 on
at first he wouldn't kept telling me he wanted NOTHING and said it really upset

He still thinks it is llike 1960
so I played his game when my Mom was a kid he called her Corkey
so I said "will you put it on for COrkey"
he said Ok
this after 15 minutes of NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Mom and her siblings and my Dad were at a meeting at the Funeral home

so then he keeps moaning in Pain
this man has never used the word HURTS in all my years i have never heard him complain
so i Knew he really had to be uncomfortable

The Nurse came in and i told her and she said it was Bath time and they would see how he was after that

He kept asking for my Mom
and telling me not to speed in my car
so I promised i wouldn't

DH and I left for about 20 minutes or so so that she could give him a sponge bath

When i came back all Hell Broke out
I walk around the corner and he is half out of bed
Head first toward the floor

I went over and got him back up and he is covered in vomit
DH starts cleaning him up while I go and get his Nurse
who says oh yeah he said he was nauseous and thought he might vomit
he must have tried leaning over the bed to do it
I just left him 1 minute ago

BULL the vomit had been there longer than that

Oh and his O2 is dangling BEHIND the bed so even if he did want it he couldn't reach

so we get him cleaned up and he keeps saying his Rectum Burns and his shorts are uncomfortable
they had to cath him yesterday so that is that
but he kept crying in pain

I said ENOUGH and went to get the nurse
His nurse was in an emergancy with another patient they said

Okay i said but 3 of you are sitting here gosspipping about a party this weekend do you think one of YOU COULD DO SOMETHING

I have now called Mom and she is on her way
but tells me she trusts me and I can handle what he needs

so as i stand there Holding my grandfather as he vomits (really hard for me to do ) DH goes to Find someone
they keep asking has he said he hurts or do you precieve he is in pain
I kept say i KNOW HE IS HURTING

finally DH says
he is complaing about being sore

and BAM 2 minutw later in comes his nurse with Morphine

Why did it take so long?????

his kidneys are shutting down
he is ice cold from his knees down
his eyes are gray not cloudy they actually turned Gray

He said I want to take a nice long rest

I said "Papa we love you it is OK to take your rest you earned it"
"It is OK to go home"

I pray he slips away tonight

it is so hard
DH is back there tonight
DGF seems to really like having him around

sorry this is so long but well your my Best friends and i needed to talk

FINALLY they are signing the hospice papers tomorrow
There has been some hold up but I don't know what

I left at noon

I went into work a bit late

I am glad i went

 

[kaylajr]

He kept saying his shorts were in a knot
and wanted me to help
He was pulling and twisitng I was afraid he was gonna pull
the Cath out
so i tried to help

he was in a Diaper and
I saw parts of my DGF I had
hoped never to see

but at least he was more comfortable
