breath of fresh air

Entry for 31 Janu­ary 2007
This is a night­mare, he has been home since 11 this morn­ing, he can’t breath he keeps ask­ing me to help him , i have given him all the vent­olin neb­ules that i can , he is on oxy­gen all the time, but he can not find a com­fort­able pos­i­tion to sit or lie down and is very rest­less and unhappy. I got a good nighs sleep last night thank heav­ens as i know there will be no sleep tonight. whatever did he do in this life or a past one to deserve this torment.

he looked much bet­ter tonight.….this after­noon he was a bit sleepy.….…..already his face looks more like him instead of all bloated. the nurses greeted me warmly and fussed over him and those vis­it­ors whose fam­ily mem­bers were still in were kind, but the lovely young man who had been in the next bed died last night of liver damage.

i hav­ing got to bed at 3 was woken at 8 by someone ask­ing how he was but that was a lovely long sleep after what i had been get­ting recently, and i fell asleep between vis­its this after­noon., so i am regen­er­at­ing. This time i will sleep as much as pos­sible to store it up for when he comes home again. no more watch­ing tele­vi­sion on this com­puter till the wee small hours.

the hos­pital is full of lost vis­it­ors, on his floor there are four wards. ward 3, ward. 6 , ward 10 and ward 17 where is the logic in that. and it is built on a hill so if you go in at the main door you have to go up 5 floors in a lift then go in search of another lift to go the other two floors E and F but if you go in at the other entrance you climb one flight of stairs to get to the same floor F. but is going to be turned into apart­ments soon, as a nice shiny new hos­pital is being built of the site of basil’s old school just across the road .…i hope they remem­ber to build in a couple of floors of car park.

in ward

3:01 a.m. i have just left him in the hos­pital , he was get­ting water­logged again.…he argued with the really nice doc­tor that came out but by the time the ambu­lance hadnt arrived 3 hours after it was called for he was des­per­ate to be admit­ted. and after wait­ing in cas­u­alty for 2 and a half hours he was des­per­ate for a bed in a ward.….….…i was just desperate.

he had been rest­less all day , unable to find a com­fort­able pos­i­tion and when his lungs were listened to there was obvi­ously a problem.

i am too tired to sleep but am going to give it a try now.

sunday morn­ing

Well he has had his break­fast and his insulin and his 17 pills one of which is a strong diur­etic so we shall be up to the loo every half hour, so no sleep to be had now.….…i can under­stand why they use sleep depriva­tion as tor­ture. i did get an hour though between 7;30 and 8:30.last night we were up to the loo 5 times, up to do his blood sugar twice up to untangle him from his downie fre­quently up to untangle him from his oxy­gen tube sev­eral times etc etc etc. it is not just he lack of sleep it is the con­stant get­ting out of bed and the not get­ting to sleep when he does because you know that you will be sud­denly woken from the deep­est sleep so you get frightened to sleep because you feel so wretched when the sleep is at its deep­est and you are sud­denly awake.
