Tuesday- Came in and sat with Bill and Jean for awhile to talk about how their weekend went. Jean said she had a lovely dinner with her family and that they kept pretty busy most of the weekend. Afterwards I made lunch and got them up and out into the living room for exercise with John.
Once John arrived I asked him how Bill was doing with the exercise, he said that it was obvious that Bill was unhappy having to exercise, but that he wasn't being argumentative like before. So far Bill is saying nothing to John at all, John and I both agree that Bill's silence is the best that we can hope for. As long as he doesn't argue or get nasty we need to continue his exercise routine.
I did 5 weeks worth of pills for Bill and Jean. Bill took 600 mg of Clindamycin for his dental appointment with Dr. Russo on 5/6. Jean is off of Plavix for 7 days prior to her surgery. The only pills Sylvia will see in her morning dose is 1/2 tab of atenelol, and half a tab of allegra. M,W,F, digoxin.
Tuesday- Jay arrived extra early and was really agitated. He painted a gold stripe around Jean's breakfast table. Bill, Jean and I got ready and went to Khaled's to have Bill's INR tested. Bill walked the entire way, Mary the nurse noticed that he was a little off balance, but he was able to make it back and forth to the car without the wheelchair. Bill was jovial and talkative inside the waiting room.
The INR was 1.6, Mary called at 5pm to advise us the Dr. Khaled wants Bill to be on 7.5mg of coumadin tonight and tomorrow night then back to the 5mg, recheck in a week.
After Khaled's we went to Starbucks to get iced coffees and then to Russo's. Dr. Russo said that Bill's teeth looked much better than before. Jean had a cleaning and a prep for a crown that was supposed to be done back in October. Things were a little hectic this last winter so we let the teeth slide, but we are back on track and Jean will have her crown placed in 3 weeks.
Came home, ordered Macayos and waited for the groceries to arrive. Lights out at 10pm.
Have a good weekend
