- Dad was in the hospital for a week.
- Dad went to a skilled nursing facility for a week.
- Dad signed himself out a day early so he came home last Saturday.
- On Saturday May 22 we took dad to the ER because his hip incision was bleeding.
We were in the ER (blue side) for 12 hours. They gave dad a room upstairs. The Orthopedic surgeon said they have to open up his hip incision, clean it out and staple it back up again. The surgery got put off a day because his coumadin level is to high. They might do the surgery tomorrow??
Dad was in better spirits today. We went for a walk around the "A" side of the hosptial. I rolled his IV machine as he went along with a walker.
There is a lady down the hall who is literately screaming all the time. HELP HELP GET ME OUT OF HERE. The ironic thing is the next room over, there is a yellow sign on the door that says "quiet patient is healing"
Robert went home today.
