Quick post

All is fine on this end.  Settling into being home.  Cats are happy we are home.  WE are happy we are home.  Sleep has been a challenge with Roger waking every couple hours to cough up/spit out this phlegm stuff.  Pretty icky and horrible feeling for him.  Last night however was a good night in that Roger slept from 11:30 - 5:00 a.m.  A very good night for him and therefore for me.

Today Roger spent most of the day sitting up in his recliner which was refreshing to see him out of bed.  Our friend Paul and I helped him down the stairs in the back courtyard where he sat for a couple hours visiting with his mom.  A small nice return to a little tiny bit of normalcy. 

Was going to post earlier this evening but we had a little unexpected turn of events.  Roger's pain medicine is dosed to him intravenously 24/7.  We were told it should last until the nurse returned on Tuesday.  Well......not the case.  The pump let off warning beeps that the medicine reservoir is EMPTY.   Oh, not a good thing for a guy who has chronic uncontrollable pain.  So, we called the 24/7 nurse line and requested more meds.  The nurse just left about 20 minutes ago and we've been trying to settle in for the evening.  Fortunately Roger's pain wasnt out of control when the machine ran out of juice.  Nothing like a little adventure at 11:30 at night!!

So, gotta go. Roger has taken his sleep medicine which means the window for getting sleep is closing quick. 

Hugs to all. a & r
