Arrived here and Melissa had filled me in on all the details of the week, had already spoke to Ruth and Wedad regarding Bill, reviewed all the information, I'm really glad Ruth took Bill a few months ago to Dr. F and talked about the hot flashes Bill was complaining, of and would think he would have suspected the defrib. I have never heard of the control being set to level 9 from what I know the shock will knock you to the ground when it occurs. I'm glad he is getting an echo so we can see the relationship with the pacer. I am off of school this week, so if anyone needs some extra help, or want me to sit with Jean or take Bill just let me know and I can help out. Checked out Bill's side, he said it was sore but that all the interventions Melissa did was helping him out. He really likes to use the new walker, and it helps him out to stand. I gave him his pain med, ultram and rubbed bengay on the side. Dr. F put him on a restricted activity chair to bathroom and back, so I brought their meals into the room for them.
Jean doing really well, gave her a really good shower, changed her bedding as she had an accident last night. Made all the beds, finished up the laundry and emptied all the cans around the house. Emptied the dishwasher and refilled it. Asked Bill if he would like to take a shower, and wash up and change his clothes, told him I would stay with him the whole time, he said maybe later, so I left all clothes clean out for him and his toothbrush shaver all set up to remind him.
Cookie did call, whoops I missed it, lol I really did, it was during my shift change with Melissa, she told Cookie we would have Jean call her back, I'm sure its just to get in on some shopping. I don't know what to do about Cookie either, she has been friends with Bill and Jean along time, and Jean does ask to call her, but like Ruth said with all the upcoming appts we have to make Bill our first priority. I bought a large calender that I will bring with me that we can list out up coming MD only appointments and plan ahead to remind us of the defib check. I have never heard of a defib getting checked every 3 months I don't know if its due to the age of it or the brand. So we will need to see the results of the epinephrine stress test. I mean he has arrhythmia , so he is not going to have a patent heart rhythm but between the two implants he should be at least regular.
Jean wants to attend the princess party for Grace, she wants to dress up like the Queen Bee as she said or Queen Mum, I forget, anyway, this idea is less exciting to Bill, so if Jean thought that Chris was going and could maybe take her. I didn't know if it was an adult party also? and Jean said she agreed that maybe Amanda sent it out just to show Jean what they are doing for the bday, so Jean said Amanda can come by the house Sat or the Monday after the party to get Graces myriad of gifts.
Tried calling Dudley Jean left a message for him, Also called Susan and Mary Corbin.
I'm going to take Bill Friday to the MD and bring that over priced coumadin machine, I need to have the controls run on it so that it can be more accurate. After Jean is going with Melissa to have her nails done, since Dr. F will be quick I will take Bill to V's to have his shave and Hair done.
