ValleyRD Mailing List: Fwd: Kay's Up-Date A-6

[Bob Heiser (w7ikt]

Good Evening - - -

 

This will be short and sweet.  It is late and I am tired and I need to get up

early tomorrow.  Besides that there is really not all that much to report.

 

Saw Kay this morning and she was doing good.  Her room was cold, not

cool, and I did talk to the nurse about it.  Earlier tonight when I was visiting

her I check on the heat and was told that the Air Conditioner/Heat Pump was

bad.  They asked if I wanted her moved and checking with Kay we elected to

move to Room ____.  If this is not filled in by the time I send this it will be that

Kay did not call me to confirm the room number.  The room is on the same

across the hall about two doors down.  When I check the room out the

thermostat was set at 75 and I swear that you could of place a few wet rocks

in there and made it a sauna.  I was warm to say the least which will be to

Kay's liking.  

 

Earlier today she was up walking and the nurse was worried that she was getting

tired and wanted to know if Kay wanted to sit down.  Kay told her she was good

and wanted to finish the walk.  After that while she was walking she blew out her

IV and had to have another one put in.  When I called her she was to the point of

tears knowing that it was going to hurt.  When I got there tonight she was all bruised

up in the arms from them trying to catch a vain for the IV.  The nurses ended up

giving her a pick in the arm between the elbow and shoulder and she was feeling

good about that.  The wound care nurse told Kay if she ever needed a IV again to

insist on the Pick for her vain cannot handle it. 

 

I could not go into the room while the nurses were doing the pick so I went to the

cafeteria for a cup of coffee.  When I got back she was sitting up eating dinner.  She

was complaining that she would defiantly have to order breakfast for this morning

they gave her "grits".  She was not happy for you only buy grits to give to the "Fire

Ants".  That my dear friends is the only thing that grits are good for, according to Kay.

I am staying out of this ! ! !  

 

When I left the "Happy Shot" was taking effect and she was getting drowsy.  I have t

talked to her a couple of time tonight as she sounds OK.  She has talked to the kids,

calling them, and chewing the fat (I cannot resist this but it some of the fat the doctors

left during the surgery).  At 10 tonight when I called she still had not been moved but t

the Charge Nurse was in the room asking Kay if she wanted to be moved and she told

her yes.  She is hoping they can get the other room cleaned and moved in the next hour.

 

Well, that's about it for now so I guess I better be going.  Take care and have a great night

PS:  The room that they were going to move Kay to when I was there was Room 259 but I

am not sure if that is still the plan.  Someone could of came in after I left and received the

room before Kay was moved.  If you want to talk to her you might want to contact her by

her cell phone at  956.460.7520.
