Nothing by mouth

    Yesterday wasn't the best for Dad. He had a CAT scan, so he was under a nothing by mouth order all day. After the scan, they forgot to lift it, so when I got there in the evening he still hadn't had anything. They said they would send a nurse to talk to us.
    It was a shift change so the nurse talked to us a little and to the new nurse a lot. It appears that they think he has gallstones. Anyway, they promised that his food was coming; the nothing by mouth order hadn't been lifted until after the kitchen had closed. So the administrator had to go get his food, I think is what they said, though it makes no sense.
    Today as predicted he is in dialysis again. I think they're trying to schedule a gallstone procedure around his dialysis and the weekend. So I'm afraid he's going to stay bored and underfed for a while. Sucks, sucks, sucks. But at least he's safe and well.
