2023-03-06 (Monday) - rough night (cheek infection). On anti-B's, they got her up for PT on the edge of bed.
- Yesterday Since Yesterday was great (chatty Melissa, so aware and happy), I brought Mary home from the Hotel, so she could sleep in a home, do laundry (with water), and we could go out to dinner (local tavern, we sat outside). So I had fever (probably hayfever), nightmares at 2:00 AM, and woke to a 5:00 AM call from the Hospital. (They said they'd only call if something bad happened). That was a few seconds of terror. Melissa was complaining about her ear (and had a tougher night). The ENT checked it out, it's a minor infection in her cheek (tested positive for MRSA, that'll help me sleep well tonight), they are watching it and put her on antibiotics. I said "thanks... tell her we love her, then hung up".... then my brain kicked in, I called back, told them to tell her that we'd be there as soon as visiting hours was open, and to keep being tough". These aren't big things, but everything is a big thing with what she's going through.
- Today Saint Mirna provided carpool services for Mary. Melissa is a bit grumpy today, rightly wants to be home, has a puffy face, on Anti-Biotics for a cheek that she bit or slept on wrong (and is puffy). They got her up for PT at the edge of the bed, took out the catheter (again).... then put it back in when her bladder filled. She asked for her computer and cellphone to do property management, even though she can't see.
- MRI Finally? They did take her out for an MRI, again. But they bring her back, and we don't know if it was done, or the results.
- Mysterious Neurology I keep trying to consult Neurology (and their Social Services) about where/when Melissa is going to in-patient rehab. But she's definitely not seeming ready for that yet. And they're nowhere to be found to help me make the decision. I left messages on the phone #. More waiting. It's like Opthamology did a consult -- and that never popped up on her records.
