Good Saturday morning!
Boy oh boy did it hail last night, I got up at 2:30 just to look at it piled up on my car.
Well, gee whiz, I rarely get to see white stuff around here, so I'm weird stuffs like that is exciting.
DH got up to go crunch crunch crunch on the front porch in it.
Oops, I just used my backspace key.
Orchy, you have a good weekend too!
My dad's appointment went pretty well yesterday. good thing I went though, all these appointments and meds and stuff, he never took but one med before, and now there are different ones, and doses keep changing, and then he stops ones, and restarts them etc.
Then while we were waiting for the rx at the pharmacy, he asked why were sitting there, hmmm
But, we switched pharmacys, cuz the other one messed up big time, and he had just gotten a months supply, and its two weeks later, so the ins was questioning, and I had to explain, cuz my dad didn't know, so I said cuz the dose ws increased, so the other ran out already, and now this one is even more dose increase. So they filled it, but that made him wonder why we were sitting there.
And doc said ok to go to the gym.
And next week after the blood draw he will probably go back on the coumadin, and get his other med they told him not to take anymore changed to a different one cuz of the potassium level.
And then, I have to report to my nurse sisters what the docs say, and I can only talk in layman,
cuz sometimes when they ask me questions I say I dunno, so they think I don't know what's going on and stuff.
But I did a super good job explaining the cardiologist visit, I think I had all the questions answered before they asked, and my sister said thanks and good job. phewwwwwwwwww
Cuz when I told her he was on coumadin and I didn't really know exactly why, she started telling me he had a heart attack or stroke, cuz in the olden days only those people got that, but now days tons of people are on it. But his is to prevent stroke, cuz he is a-fib and rbb.
Mostly I monitor his meds, and made sure he ate, but his appetite came back and he is eating again.
I like it better when he is off coumadin, cuz I don't know if that is what is making him so confused and not hungry. Cuz both times he's been of he feels better, unless that is cowinky dinky.
