Dad's Finally Home

[crossover_chick]

But I'm sorry to say his return home has been something of a shitshow so far. Basically, first his discharge was delayed for most of the day by yet more tests (some necessary, others -- less so), and then when he got home it turned out that not only did one doctor delay calling in his prescription for the pain meds he needed, Mom simply could not get them. They're on back order and the CVS she went to just straight up did not have them and would not have them. So he's relying on the ones that only JUST worked before, and -- yeah. Add in the fact that he keeps coughing up fluid from his lungs, which obviously hurts his ribs (where one of the masses is), and the fact that we can't even get in contact with anyone at the hospital because apparently every voicemail box is full, and -- it's been a bad night. So bad, in fact, that I must confess I simply did not have the focus to complete my write-ups. I updated a draft on tumblr; I played some more Fallout: New Vegas and had a long chat with Trudy; and I watched the latest compilation of "CaFae Latte," but the full recaps of all those activities is going to have to come later. I'm heading to bed to see if I can get some sleep -- need to get some because we've got that bastard snowstorm coming tomorrow and I'm going to have to help Mom shovel. I don't know if I'll edit this entry or make a new one or what to tell you what I did today -- I'll figure it out tomorrow. For now, night all.

I know it's empty words but hang in there. I've had to drive all around New Jersey one time just to find a pharmacy that had enough of husband's ADHD meds to get it filled that day.

Thanks -- and oh boy, that must have been fun. >( Mom ended up getting the pills this morning after multiple calls to the hospital (because the doctor who was treating Dad at the time DIDN'T CALL IN THE FUCKING PRESCRIPTION -- another one of his doctors picked up the slack in the end) -- fortunately the snow wasn't too bad at that point.
