Just a little update on my honey; the surgery yesterday
seemed to go well and they replaced just the ball and not the socket. They had
to do a lot of grinding of bones in order to do so – but apparently it’s less
invasive and should last him forever.
The surgeon wants to do the
other shoulder in two months.
Today, HE'S CRANKY AND WANTS TO COME HOME! What a surprise.
You know how hospitals are? No place to rest or get healthy.
Even though it's in his chart that he is paralyzed with Transverse
Myelitis, the nurses haven't taken time to read it, (I
had to tell the first two nurses as well as place a call last night), and it's
led to some issues with the meds he needs to take.....
ARRGH! He has been w/o water so much and it's not
like he can get up and get his own!!! And now his shoulder is
draining fluid and blood more than what they expected and it may be of
concern. The surgery center
was wonderful, but I’m not pleased, (nor is he), with the nursing care on his
floor. At
this point, he is supposed to be released tomorrow, but we have to confirm the
approval for the bed/lift & nursing in order for him to be released
then. I
know his routine well and can take care of him better at home, but with some
difficulty.
Thank you so very much for all your calls, emails, prayers, VISITS and
thoughtfulness. I would write individually, but I am very far behind at work and
need to play catch up. If you want to cheer him up, he’s a White Memorial in L. A., (323)
