The Doctor has NOT seen my husband. Likely it will be tomorrow- right before the one who did his hip has to see him, on Monday for Post-Op Appt. See- my husband is not watched- and he is doing stuff himself, which the Doctor needs' to help curb! We have asked that he be released, but Hip surgeon says WAIT- and that he an only "recommend" that the Facility Doctor release him! EVERYone said just try it two to three days! NOW, if it is the usual two weeks, my husband will be worn out from no rest- he wakes' up 60 times an hour from not breathing because of severe sleep apneaI He will be a worse fall risk, from no real sleep, poor pain control; NOT on time, and the pain cannot be controlled IF the pain starts' UP and will not ever be in control when meds are given LATE.. and he will go back t the hospital as well as fall from being dizzy with and weak from dehydration!
I told them I was taking him home when he fell the same day he arrived!
The CNAs did NOT put my husband onto his sleep apnea machine, needed when napping or asleep It is supposed to be hooked UP to his Oxygen machine, but I had to go to the Nurses station and find a hose to do this. Hhe was without it for three days! It is a severe case they also turned OFF his oxygen machine per HIS REQUEST! (he is confused right now- from NEEDING it per Doctor's ORDERS!
He is dehydrated. He has been going to the bathroom without a walking aides, and so they do not know how much or how often he is voiding, and if it is a color indicating dehydration! I have told them when there to do these things. They do not know he is not using oygen ifor the day, nor what else he does- by himself! Lack of good rest, and water will make him weak, unbalanced, and a fall risk
! IF he falls' he could be an invalid the rest of his LIFE- because he had a hip operation June 9th and it will be messed up from a fall! I live 1 1/2 hours a day- I cannot get him to listen to ME- because during the night and when I am not there, he has been neglected. he calls' them battle axes- from the dehydration and lack of oxygen- though I know that they come in to talk loudly, and ONLY come in to bathroom to check the toilet in AM- then leave door open. It takes' an hour for them to respond to a bell. Then they Ask HIM what else he need's. I have told them all that he is confused- and to just look around his room - whether he has water, the walker, the call light, the telephone nearby, the bed locked- he fell the first day because it wasn't- and most important- what is that machine for sleep apnea doing NOT turned on and ON HIS FACE when he is napping and asleep? ! Why isn't the oxygen piece IN his nose 24-7? I asked them- do you ant more trouble when he has a heart attack or stroke? He will have to have another trip to the hospital for an IV of fluids when he is really dehydrated. Things have NOT gotten BETTER!
