The evening started as a uneventful one , Bill was complaining of side pain , i asked him if he wanted to go to the ER , he said no but was thankful that we were going to faroqui tomorrow. I gave Bill Tylenol for the pain , put on bengay and, gave him a beanbag heat treatment several times through out the night.
12:30 AM -On the way to the bathroom bill tripped , and needed help up , he was not hurt. However he was very restless, he asked for sleep medication , i gave him one over the counter sleeping pill. he finally dosed off at 1 AM.Before leaving their room i moved all possible objects that can /may be stumbled upon, including the chair in bills bathroom that he had banged into that caused his injury.
Bill went to Dr Faroqui at 1030 am to have his coumidin levels checked, they had went down to a good range of 1.4. His side was getting worse so faroqui checked him, and did some xrays .
The diagnosis, was that bill"probably"had fractured a rib , but due to the excessive fatty tissue around that area they were unable to make a definitive diagnosis.They also tested his kidneys to make sure that he hadn't injured them in the fall. They were fine.
Bill is on anti inflammatory pills(celebrex) 1 x per day for 3 days , they also gave him extended release pain meds to be taken at night , (1 per day).He is not to do any activity till he is better , only walking to the bathroom .he needed help up and to dress, more than usual. he is now napping it is 3 pm, he took one pain pill when he got home from the doctor today, after today they are to be taken at night , as i mentioned before.
