ravena_kadeSo Dad didn't get in a room until 10 PM last night. He has been doing well. His vitals are all good. No one can figure out what happened Monday night to cause hime t be lethargic for 4 hours. Once they got him into a room they took some data from his pacemaker. I have not had the results yet.
Today he calls me and says that they lost his charger for his phone when they moved him fro the ER. I don't understand that since I attached it to the phone and wrapped the cord around it.
The doctors that have seen him say he is not drinking enough and is not exercising enough and that is why he is shaky and has no stamina.
They are also looking tot week his meds as he does have some more fluid building up. That means his heart isn't pumping as well as it should. No one will come out and say that it is damaged, but I think it is. I think they want the cardiologist to tell us that.
I had a call with a friend of a friend who helped me understand what I need to do to get Dad a prescription plan. The penalty for him not having it since age 65 will be $60 a month. Oi. But that is not the kicker. The drug that I am having a hard time with is a tier 4 drug and will cost $265 a month with insurance and the cheapest way to do it is to buy 3 months at a time for almost $700. He needs 3 pills a day. OMG. I figure we can buy it on a credit card with his name on it and make payments. Told my sister that she may need to contribute. I figure I could put the house tax return on it too. I am also HOPING we can get a different medication.
I have so much going on that I dont know what day it is whenI wake up.
The oil tank will cost $4000.00. Certainly not good timing. They are coming December 7th. I have to conserve the oil I have for 21 days. The house is cold. I have a cousin that will drop off an electric radiator for Dad so I can keep him warm.
I had to cancel out of this Saturday's craft show. I just could not do it because I have a feeling Dad will come home on the weekend.
For myself I only have a couple things planned. 2 Friday night craft shows that I am doing with a friend... 4 to 9 outside..and a Christmas party with friends. I have found a sitter for my Dad as I am not comfortable with him being alone just yet. After that I am hunkering in for a while... hopefully to paint.
