Richard makes all of his decisions. We were really wanting him to go with something a few yrs. ago..he said..nope.
This is something he .. can't.. say no to if he wants to live! He understands. This line of stone will keep closing in, until there is no space in that tiny bladder.
He's home, thought there for a while they would keep him overnight. So much pain, and Richard never complains about pain, but he was in a lot..and his oxygen didn't go up, so he came home with a tank. Still has that on for today. Should be off by tonight. Doing better with pain, said no to a pain pill this afternoon. That's how he is. I told the Dr. and the Nurses..over the phone.. since I was home, that if he says he's in pain, he's in pain. He has a high threshold for pain, most kids/people that have been through a lot of surgeries do have a high threshold for it.
Richard has also been suffering with an open wound for yrs. Front lower abdomen. Has had many surgeries to clean it and close it. It reopens, over and over again. Now, I worry about this surgery, if it is opened in the waist area, just another wound to worry about keeping clean and closed.
The drive up there isn't considered bad for most folks..even for us back in the day. It's just over an hr. We just don't drive far anymore.
I am hoping that when this dr. reviews the report, they will get him in sooner.
When Richard got older, he started seeing our Primary Care physician, then went to the specialist needed...when needed. He comes over here when he's had surgery. We keep an eye on him. That is usually needed to be done by someone for anyone that has had surgery. At least for 24 hrs.
I have a mentally handicapped sister. I took her in when my mother passed. Had her for a couple of yrs. I couldn't handle her. Sad, but true. When it was time to put her into a home, I got guardianship .. this way, I have say as to what I want done with drs. Dentists. Therapists. I suggest something, they do it. She's 51.
