It has been a day and a half.
Bill has been having some disorientation which I thought was normal...since he has been in 4 different locations within East Jefferson.
However today when I arrived at the hospital I found him sitting in the wheel chair near the nurses station. He was very agitated. It seems that his first day in the Rehab unit at the breakfast table he thought that one man was his father and a lady was his mother. He argued with the man and woman to the point that it must have been pretty disruptive.
He told me to go see his parents in that room...I explained his father is deceased and his mother is at home. Well that went on all day. Then he saw Barley, Cheryl and Shaun Emmons down the hall. I had mentioned the disorientation to one doctor yesterday. Today the nurses reported the breakfast event. This afternoon Bill got a cat scan to see if there is a neurological explanation. If not it could be a combination of meds causing it. I hope it is just being in the hospital for so long. I had hoped to avoid that issue by keeping him at EJ.
He did call tonight he does speak well enough now to be heard on the telephone.....he wants me to come early in the morning to shave him with the electric razor. He had one lady cut him up so bad with a disposable razor....so I will be there extra early to put his mind at ease.
Visiting hours in Rehab are after 3:00PM. As they are doing alot of therapy during the morning and early afternoon. Thanks for being there for Bill !!
