well it's good to see, she is not slumped over..GREAT..>!!!!Nurse said I could cruise her around the 9th floor if I could find a transport chair.
We found a couple of spots with windows to look out.

Of course, this room happens to be directly across from a satanic cult headquarters.

We got bitched at because I put the gait belt around her and got her up walking in the hallway a little bit.
I was facing her holding onto the belt around her waist and looking down at my feet to make sure I didn't step on hers, and she was holding onto my shoulders and I was slowly walking backwards.
I only took her about ten feet from the wheelchair then turned around and walked 20 feet, passing the wheelchair, and then we turned back and by the time we got back to the chair she was a little wobbly so I put her back in it.
Nurse said we need to use a walker. But I'd already asked for one and they couldn't find one.
This is a hospital. How freakin' hard is it to find a walker?
Same thing with the transport chair. I had to go all the way down to the ER for one.

I got another one:
She must be doing great. He went from the lead in a romcom to Archie Bunker.

Now I'm back in POA / advocate mode trying to get cardiology to figure out why her blood pressure is still fluctuating. It crashed yesterday morning and it was trending downward today until I made her drink a bottle of Gatorade.

Now she's crabby because she's still here.
Hasn't been home since July 9th.
Occupational therapist didn't do much. Just an evaluation as it seemed to me.
We need to get her into an inpatient rehab program but it's taking 3 hospitals forever to review the referrals.
They can do it here but I told them I'm getting sick of driving to Chicago.

Let me guess, they said everyone is sick of driving to Chicago.

The social worker in charge of placement for the rehab said she lives 2 miles away from here, straight down Ashland. She takes a bus to work.
It's weird because she's young and really sweet but said she grew up in Chicago, close to where she lives now. I didn't think it was possible for a lifelong big city resident to be sweet like that. I thought for sure she was from the suburbs or perhaps even a country girl.
Maybe it's an act. Like how Ted Bundy was known to be charismatic even though he was a homicidal maniac.
She's probably got a famous author locked up in her apartment. She's kind of a big girl like Cathy Bates in Misery.

Right when the two nurses came in at shift change so day shift can explain her situation to the night shift, Sarah got a really bad cramp, bottom of her weak side thigh.
Neither nurse seemed to have any clue what to do. They offered her Tylenol and a hot pack.
I asked her to point out the exact muscle that's cramped, and I stretched it out & held it stretched for a few minutes.
She's fine now.
I'm not too impressed with the nursing staff on this floor. She had really good nurses when she was in the Tower building.
I know they're not physical therapists, but neither am I. They've got f*ing bachelor's degrees in nursing, and they don't know what to do with a simple muscle cramp?

Ok so I am just sitting here in the room with Sarah and for apparently no reason at all, a lab technician just walked in and handed me two little cups of cranberry juice.
Maybe later I'll go down to the lab and hand her some random item and walk out. Maybe it's a game.
Or maybe they're aware that I have a massive shitload of home grown tomatoes with me today and she wants some
These are the ones I picked this morning and brought up here with me.
Gotta bribe the nurses and physical therapists who all live in Chicago and don't know what a home grown tomato tastes like.

What a dick! You don't just hand someone cranberry juice without vodka. Who in the hell wants just cranberry juice.Ok so I am just sitting here in the room with Sarah and for apparently no reason at all, a lab technician just walked in and handed me two little cups of cranberry juice.
