I have been really busy and haven't had a lot of time to write in my journal lately. Actually I did write Monday but I kept getting interrupted by the phone and when I did try to post it the site said I wasn't logged in and I lost it all. I was so upset that I didn't even attempt to redo it. So I'm going to try to narrow things down and try again today to update all that has gone on.
Lewis has been having panic or anxiety attacks in the middle of the night. So I'm assuming the sleeping medications they have him on are not working.Sunday night he fell out of bed didn't get hurt but we are having a lot of issues with the nursing homes way of handling it. They lowered his bed about six inches off the floor, removed the side rails,installed a bed alarm ,and an alarm around his leg. He was in the floor from 1am til 4am and nobody knew it. My phone was not in the bedroom with me but he called me 5 times.
Last nite he called me and said he couldn't get any help and 1am again. My phone was beside me and I talked to him and he begged me to come right away. He had slid off the bed to activate the alarm because no one was paying any attention AGAIN to his call light. I got about 4 hours sleep last night and today I talked to the DON about what had happened and she said she would have a meeting with the 3rd shift crew.
It has started to take a toll on me I feel like pushing him out the door and bringing him home and try to make it on our own. I know I could do a better job than most of the people working there anyway.
