I called the nurses' station and my husband happened to be right there in a wheelchair; so she gave him the phone. He was hard to hear and understand. He gets like that sometimes. We had a very short conversation; but at least...

Called the social worker to find out about the physical therapy cost, my husband said he hasn't been showered since he was transferred (you can take what he says with a grain of salt) and if he could be seen by the staff doctor...

Went to see my husband yesterday. We had Personal Pan Pizzas from Pizza Hut. He was pretty lucid and didn't want me to leave. My husband's phone was charged and it was within reach. He still doesn't call me daily like he used...

Purposely left my husband's cell phone on when I saw him. Tried to call him yesterday; but there was no answer. Received a new bill for room and board from the facility. The room rates are $10 more than they quoted; so I'll...

I called the facility and told them to have my husband call me. I was surprised when he did. The nurse said he slept most of yesterday which is not good. I brought up the subject of physical therapy to see how he felt about...

When we got to the facility we found my husband dressed and sitting in a wheelchair by the nurse's station. His roommate said that was the first time in a week that he's been out of bed. That doesn't make me happy at all. I...

Since I haven't heard from my husband in a week, I don't have any real news. Today we will bring him his replacement phone so he will be able to call me. For some reason he doesn't like using the room phone. We will see what...

I called the facility yesterday and spoke with the social worker. She forgot to ask about the cost of physical therapy. She did fill me in on my husband's urologist appointment. On Monday they are going to take out the catheter...

My husband's new phone came yesterday. I just have to set it up for him. I will see him on Sunday and on Christmas. Today I need to find out how his appointment with the urologist went, what the cost will be for physical...

We visited my husband yesterday. He was sitting in his wheelchair when we got there. He said that his roommate is dangerous and he knows people. Most of the time while I was there, he sat with his head down. We hardly spoke to...

Well, yesterday I put on my big girl panties, cried a little and made the gut wrenching decision to have my husband transferred to long-term care. He will have no physical therapy and will just lie there until the day he dies. I...

Before any home health aides can be scheduled, my husband must go to his primary care provider and be examined. That would mean somehow managing to get him down 3 steps, into the car, out of the car, into a wheelchair, etc. I...
