Guest guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi All, Weekdays are better than weekends at the new Rehab center. More staff on days. PT started Tuesday with stretching his contracted legs. He is very confused, tears off his bandages from the hip site, picking at his skin tear on his left hand, pulling at the oxygen tubing, throwing off his sheets to the floor when he is alone in his room. My sil came back at my request and we are taking turns sitting with Bob in shifts to prevent him picking at his staples in his incision. He is on oxygen because it has twice dropped into the 80s now. Needs to be fed now, cannot eat anything by himself, but is hungry and eats well when fed. They had some " visitors " to the facility yesterday. A lot of bustle and painting the day before. Inspection I think. We will see how things continue on. Pat M. 58, Wife/caregiver of Bob 76, dx PD 2003, LBD 2009, now in third Rehab Center this year, 8 days post second hip replacement surgery.
