4/23 Deb is home. To start, Deb's meds were increase last night from 30 mgs morphine to 60 both time released. Here is the sequence of events for today. Deb's GP calls at 11:10am. The palliative nurse was here and told the doctor what was happening. The doc said he would call to see who could help Deb. 11:17 the doc called back and said the hospital in Nanaimo will call me. At 12:14 I get a call from the hospital to come in. At 1:10 I leave for Nanaimo which is 36 kilometers away (21 miles away for you know who). Arrived at the hospital all locked down at 2:00. I said imagining is waiting for me. The doctor comes out and tells me what's going to take place. They get Deb and at 3:15 the doc comes back out and says we got it repaired. They replaced and put in a new tube from her liver to her gallbladder. We arrived at home at 4:05. Thanks to Kathy Fox who help me get Deb in and out of the car because Deb being stoned immaculate from the new meds. Day by day!
4/24 continued from yesterday. Comment on medical care here. Yesterday Debs GP diagnosed what needed to be done with Deb at 12:17pm and Deb got home a little after 4:00. That was nothing but incredible. Deb got home and slept 4 hours and was still in Zombie land until 4 this afternoon. The nurse contacted the G P and we all agreed to go back to 30 mgs of morphine instead of 60. She has been without pain more or less with the morphine. Now she is allot more lucid. Deb wasn't able to walk yesterday or today. She is better now and with a good night sleep without hallucinating, hopefully she will be stronger tomorrow. One day at a time.
