Dad was discharged yesterday evening. He worked with physical therapy, they showed him how to move out of bed without bedrails and logroll to his side. Last night was okay, they took off his patch around midnight.
Today was a different story. He had an oncology appointment today at 1pm. Trying to get out of bed this morning though, he moved wrong and caused the muscle spasms to return. They worked for a while trying to get him out of bed. Mom called and didn't think they were going to make it to the appointment. They finally made it there after struggling to get out of the car and sitting in the front office for a long period of time. Several hours later, they finally moved him back to the infusion room where the therapy chairs are located. Mom, Elizabeth and Dr. Kahzdan were pleading with him to call an ambulance to send him back to the hospital but he is refusing. We are working to get a physical therapy company that will take his insurance. They gave Dad is IV dexamethasone and are waiting it out. We are very concerned because Mom may not be able to help him at home.
