this is Abigail.
i arrived here at about 3:30/4 pm. he was in the dialysis room, refusing to have anything done until i got there. i rushed to that floor with a nurse and he was smiling in his dock not hooked up. the dialysis technicians were all sitting around waiting to get instructions. they had a doctor on the phone. i pleaded with Dad to get dialysis. he said that he did not think his insurance covered it. i said it was fully coved and that all of his doctors think he needs it. he said he thinks that i am using circle thinking. he wants to go home. i said you need dialysis in order to get strong enough to go home. he wanted to make a deal that if he does the procedure he gets to immediately go home. he wanted to talk to his lawyer.
he has been pleading with me to bring him home. i keep saying we need to get the doctor to clear him before we go home.  i don't think he is thinking clearly at all, but, he says he needs proof as to why he needs dialysis. that is valid.
i called the social worker and asked if someone could determine if he is thinking clearly. hope to hear back soon.

He is in a rough place, but asks about visitors. come stop by if you can, even for a short time.
