Had 4 sets of visitors this afternoon. Dad was doing better today but retaining fluids in his hands. Nurse said not to worry. Nurse and aide are going to tag team on Tues and Thurs to get him out in and out of bed. One getting him out and the other coming an hour later to put him back in.
Both of us sound asleep when the 10 PM alarm went off for Dad's medicine tonight; me in the chair and Dad in his bed. Neither of us very happy to have to wake up. He was like dead weight trying to get ready for bed and could hardly get him to drink enough to take his pills. Both of us being stubborn. I now have a headache and am awake. He of course went right back to sleep.
I can do this with lots of help and ... cooperation from Dad.
