4/15/24 - Update on My Husband

Maybe you can find him a set of those soft, noise canceling headphones, they are wonderful for blocking out noises!

In those facilities the nurses should take care so that no one after 10 p.m. disturbs the sleep of the others. I am sorry for your husband.

Maybe they assume “everyone” is deaf. Glad he’s doing well. Let’s pray he gets home where he can have you, home therapy, normal meals, and a good night’s sleep soon!

I'm glad there's good help on the weekends. I'm sorry his roommate has the TV so loud and needs someone to turn it down when his roommate goes to sleep.

I'm glad he's being well cared for, and I totally sympathize with his frustrations regarding the clueless people,so rude on their part.

I'm glad he is well taken care of.

And don't forget the elephant races inn the hall at 5am.

If the nurses are nice..maybe he can get their assistance with the noise pollution.

If only those dumb nurses or aides would do something about that noise, like maybe getting that room mate of his a pair of earphones.

The TV thing makes me smile and shake my head. Some of my "older" friends are a bit hard of hearing, and I have to talk loud to reach them. They are comical when they get stoned and can't really hear/understand what each other is saying.

It was like that at Mum's nursing home. No-one bothered to keep their voices down.

I was thinking on the same line as Marie. A noise cancelling headphones might be a good help if your husband is comfortable using it. Happy that he likes the weekend there

In the mental units of my local hospitals, all of the times I was there was a communal TV in the lounge and it went off at 10 p.m. and after that, everybody had to be in bed by 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. depending if it was a weekend or weekday and the nurses made sure we were quiet past bedtime. I do NOT mean your husband should be in one, but I mean places that have a large group of people should have some rules like that If we really couldn't sleep as happened to me a lot I was able to sit in my room and read quietly until I fell asleep I wish your husband all the best and hope he gets some sleep! Have a great day!

when i was in hospital for a small procedure,i couldn't get any sleep either. i am glad you called your husband and that there are good fairies among the nurses

It is really good he finds things to like on the weekends.

That has got to be one of the most annoying things a roommate can do.

Maybe your husband can wear ear plugs when he tries to sleep.

I wonder if he quietly mentions to the therapist today, that he should be better rested after the weekend but the night time noise level doesn't lend itself to getting a peaceful night's sleep. That approach may help.

Blessings to him and I keep him in my prayers, Really wish he could have been transferred, Have you asked the other facility to let you know if an opening occurs?

It's a shame his roommate can't use ear plugs with the tv. Our Roku has that, and it helps when Mike falls asleep, and I am watching something. Glad there are nurses there that he likes.
