Say a prayer for hubby

Unfortunately the nursing homes down here are understaffed and they can't monitor a person that may be harmful to themselves or others.

Has Bill shown violent tendencies in the hospital? If not, then they've got him in restraints to keep him from pulling out tubes, etc.

I assumed what he had on was what we used to call a POSEY...But it must be lock and keyed..No violence that they have told me or I have seen when there..He has mittens on to keep him from pulling tubes etc..He got his trache out yesterday...but now has a pic line in for antibiotics as he contracted MRSA infection...uggg...and he had neck surgery and it settled in there...I know he wants to try to get up and walk and he "has no real idea what is going on or where he is" so he would be a danger if he was up and moving..

He may not really need restraints, at least not locking restraints.

Regardless, we had a terrible experience with Bayside and one of my exes relatives. I'd try for a different nursing home if possible.

I actually told them NO anyway on that...I have him on a list for St Marys..I remember 20 yrs ago working at St Marys Hosp and Bayside had a horrible rep...so the plan is move him somewhere..then when the opening comes at St Marys move him there...

What do you do though if everyone says no. I just don't get it. They are refusing him the treatment that he needs. What about Cedar Lane. That's closer to you than Bayside.

Cedar Lane have a rehab??? They do not have beds like that do they??? Heck that would be a breeze...I could send Kwillia over to check on him

I know it's a bit up the road, but have you checked with Southern Maryland Hospital Center?

I have no idea but it's worth looking into. It's a nursing home isn't it? Not just an assisted living place

If they do, that would make it so much easier for you.

The "Lady" that does the move stuff is looking she does this...I just give her my zip code...I had a first choice now that they have no openings they put him "where ever they can" I guess then I will have to get him moved again...

Last few days he will NOT talk on the phone I need to get up there...all he does is moan and yell can't understand anything he has really regressed..He fights them spits on them and now they are needing to sedate him..They told me last week they were moving him down here so we did not go up there...Bayside rejected him..St Marys has no beds and won't take him with ANY restraints at all...Calvert has not called back..and the lady at the rehab has not called me and I called her like 3 times today..I am in the dark now...not sure what is going on..I did get his lyrica increased to his regualar dosage so maybe his feet (diabetes damage) will not be hurting him so much..last week all he could say was my feet hurt..funny thing he has been yelling for MOM (by her first name Marge) all weekend they said..

Just be sure

Paso, If you look into the nursing homes near So. MD Hospital, stay clear from Clinton Nursing Center- it's a horrible place. My husband was there for a week before he died, and the people were horrible, the management uncooperative, and the other patients were awful.

Update?

Update?

You up too?? I can't sleep either..

Mom is the same Hospice is talking about not coming to see her for now. I hope they continue to have the nurse come in but not sure if they can.

Hubby is still up the road..still in restraints and diapers etc...Its a mess. He is still in the first rehab from when he was moved from shock trauma..They will be moving him to another rehab in Balt..Still no one here will take him. He is not progressing much at this time.. He has a very short attention span and short memory and is out to lunch..when I was there last week he cried the whole time..he said someone killed a puppy in the parking lot (his room boarders woods so he saw no parking lot) and he was cried because of his Antelope and Deer never could catch that one..so I told him they were fine Inkpen was feeding them..He is really out to lunch..He says the nurses are drug dealers. He most of the time does not know he is in a hospital. Sometimes he cries and says he is really Frucked up. He seems to not know he had a motorcycle or remember the accident..sometimes he says his head is messed up and if you ask why he will say an accident or he does not know.. So we are at 3 months..so I guess time will tell. Daughter has moved back in to help me.
