Short post

We had a rough night last night. Roger woke nearly every hour and thrashed around with pain.  The day was pretty rough too.  It was spent in a great deal of pain which was physically and emotionally exhausting for Roger. 

Pain doctor finally showed up at 7:00pm.  Medicine dosage was doubled - both the regular ongoing flow and the "on demand" pump.  Additionally the doctor changed the time between "on demand" requests.  Before Roger could push the button every 20 min.  Now, its every 10 minutes.  I think we are finally - now as of 10:50pm - he seems to be more calm.  He's taken his ambien and ativan and should be snoozing soon. 

Plan is to get the pain under control.  May be an additional 2-3 days in the hospital to make sure they have the right dose. Enough to address the pain and not to much to overdose. Its all a balance. We've ordered a hospital bed to be delivered to the house when we leave as well as a wheel chair.  If he needs them, we'll have them.  If not, then no big deal.  Cats will have somewhere new to sleep.

Like I said, tonight is a short post.  I'm officially exhausted and want to squeeze in as much sleep as possible when he sleeps.
