ravena_kadeDad was supposed to have a special MRI yesterday for the clots in head, but they gave him all his heart meds at the exact same time and his blood pressure hit the floor. As a result they would not let him get the MRI and the window closed. The also figured that they dehydrated him so they gave him 2 bags of fluid.
Today was the holiday so the special MRI was not running. They said that they would keep him until tomorrow for the MRI. If they cannot fit him in they will discharge him and just book an appointment for that MRI.
On Tuesday he has an appointment to meet a man with one of the heart pumps. I have also found a group on FB fr people and caregivers of people who have LVads. I have been compiling a list of questions that I hope won't be too invasive.
Yesterday I met with a social worker who has invited me to a support group for caregivers. I would like that.
I have decided that this year I will meal prep food for Dad and just reheat. I need to eat better myself, but to eat healthy for me it has to taste good. I need more veggies and the thing with Dad's diet change for the heart pump is that I have to watch how much vitamin K he as as it causes clotting and many of my favorite veggies are high in Vitamin K.
