Jim's Confusion is a Nightmare

Jim didn't remember that V had a surgery, and got angry with her for not showing up to visit with him. Then he thought V had been in the hospital for 3 days, and got angry with her for not explaining the reason for the extended hospital stay. Jim wants to come home because Saturday night his nurse left him sitting in his feces for a full hour. V has so little energy for dealing with this.

Today, V will stay home. She will try to reach the facility DR by phone. She will try to find out what kind of lab tests have been done and what the results have been. She will try to find out why this GP has not contacted Jim's GI specialists.

V's pain meds are not knocking her out like before. More than likely the stress of Jim's situation. She needs some solid sleep and is not getting it. V's so thankful that Annie is here to help, especially to feed V when V isn't hungry.

Take care all.

Those nurses at Jim's place sound like absolute gems. Maybe Annie can go over and bitchslap them a bit.

If I were any closer, I would.

You are my inspiration, V.

No relatives. No friends nearby that I would consider close enough that they would take on this responsibility.
