ravena_kadeDad woke up yesterday and they took out the breathing tube, Yay. Coming out of the anesthesia was rough. AS he woke he was in huge amounts of pain so they gave him a lot of pain meds. He was not making sense and we could not understand him. It was hard to see. He did try to crack a few jokes so that made me feel better.
They ended up cutting a 4 inch section of sternum, making a 4 inch incision under her heart, cut out 4 inches off a rib so the pump can fit, and then stuffed a 3 ft extension cord in his abdomen with a hole in his belly for it to come out. The nurses say he will be in pain for a while.
told my sister that I wanted to leave at 4 PM. I was going to take the train home. I want Dad to sleep with the pain meds. The medical staff would check for all the things that need checking to make sure he was neurologically okay. She and her partner said they would go at the same time and would drive me home. I offered a salad with shrimp and chicken for dinner. It took an hour to get back to my town, but they wanted to stop at the market. Okay. Then they spent 2 hour in the store. We didn't get back home until 7 and I had to do dinner. They did not leave until 8:30.
I told them I was visiting Dad for about an hour today and then going home. I have house things that I can't do if I am here and if I have people at the house. I need to warn all the bed linens for the guest bed for my sister, pay my Dad's bills and dig out the trash barrels and all sorts of crap. This is not a vacation for me. I need separate time and not be a host. I can't keep taking care of their needs and I am run into the ground with only 3 hours sleep a night.
