i'll just make a quick list about today to keep it simple
1. acute dialysis 9am today for about 3 to 4 hours (i lost track of time there!)
2. OP and PT both showed me the stretches exercises today, it is up to us and nurses to do them. the OP and PT will come back only if we call them. there are instructions on the wall-- check them out and if you are comfortable helping him move his fingers, arms, toes, feet, legs, and i'm not here-- please do! they said to do them 2 to 3 times a day.
3. left hand brace should be worn at night so his fingers will slow the curling they are doing.
4. moon boots-- he should wear them sometimes, take them off other times, they help feet and toes.
5. i asked for a tooth brush and paste, so i brushed his teeth.
6. i think we missed speech therapy today while in dialysis, and i forgot to ask for ice chips-- so tomorrow!
7. sat in the cardiac chair for an hour, but i had to slowly bring in horizontal over the hour, it was tough for him. the wound on his back side really hurts him.
8. watching another netflix film (thanks Sandy!!), although it has to 'buffer' every 10-15 mins, so that drives us crazy! i'll bring him one of the dvd's this weekend. the movie we are watching is one that in normal life dad would've stopped watching after 5 mins, a crappy romantic comedy, but here he's very involved, observing! weird!
that's all for now folks!

So glad the Netflix are at work. I can renew the subscription if I need to, just let me know, Abby. And, thanks for all the updates, it sounds as if things are going in the right direction. HUGS to you all. Sandy
