Dad's Visit with Dr. Reifler

Dr. Reifler came by today to see Dad, accompanied by a reporter from Raleigh News & Observer. The doctor had gotten a promotion and so the paper wanted to do a story on his visits with patients. So he asked if he could visit with Dad.

I came by to greet the doctor and nurse educator. He asked a few questions about Dad and the navy. Dad said he had mostly served on cruisers. How they had 18"? guns. The doctor asked about the difference between cruisers, ? and destroyers in terms of sizes. Dad explained this easily. However when the doctor asked how many sailors there was on a cruiser Dad started wringing his hands a bit, but finally said 3500 men (I don't ever recall him saying this--it is probably something hard to remember!).

Then I went to the back room with the nurse educator and she talked with me and Ilene about communicating with Alzheimers patients. She left a couple of booklets to look at. She also said she might mail some activity sheets as well.

Dad continued to talk with Doctor in private for a few minutes.

The educator said they might start Dad on anti-depressant but want to wait and see if Karen the PA could come out and do an evaluation as well before they prescribed one (She came out a month ago as well). They had increased his Namenda last week to 2x a day. He seems slightly better---not sure why, just a gut feeling.

Dad flattered me by saying "I know everything", I said "I love hanging out with this guy!"

When they were leaving the reporter said he would send a copy of the article when it comes out.

Dad went to Symphony

Not only did Dad say he wanted to die, but that he WOULD die that evening. However, he has always been predicting his death (in the last 20 years), so I tried to cheer him up by reminding him of that. Also I said that I would miss him, that I needed to take care of him, that he is a good example to other people, etc. I hope it helped him!

Dad and I attended the symphony on Sunday afternoon. I was able to get an inexpensive senior ticket in the handicapped area (with individual chairs) at the Stevens Center.

Dad did not have much reaction to the music, but he said he enjoyed it. And it was a nice walk (about a block). I may take him to the New Years Pops concert next year.

During the weekend I worked on the jigsaw puzzle, and watched Dad. We are eating more in the dining room so that we can watch TV. Also since Dad stays at the table for a while after I am finished eating, I can be in the same room with him and it seems more friendly.

Dad's Visit from the Go Program

The physician's assistant came to visit Dad today. She asked Dad some memory questions. She asked him to name some animals. He mentioned polar bear twice, bear, some others, then said Christmas Tree. twice He mentioned places he lived, Norfolk, Chicago, Washington. He said he liked Washington the best. The doctor may increase his Namenda. She said a normal dose was 2x a day. (He takes one dose a day). She also watched how he walked and seemed to think he walked fine.

It was a nice visit. The PA will come back again in six months.

Dad did fine last weekend. We went out to dinner on Saturday and had swordfish with bean salsa. Dad did not eat much of the fish, but he ate his carrots and cake and some of his salad.

However on Sunday he developed an uncontrollable diarrhea. Bettie stayed with him in the afternoon and he had another episode then. Later that evening he had a third episode. Dad said he wanted to die. But he did not look in any pain; however, the diarrhea must have been burning to say the least. (there must be something going on--I have an achiness in my abdomen as well, not sure if it is related or different, but I didn't have diarrhea, but constipation).

I did not give him his Senna last night, may withhold it one more evening.

He is eating okay this morning. Maybe I will serve him some chicken noodle soup for lunch. I am keeping him home from Senior Services to make sure he is alright.

Dad's Weekend

It was a fairly quiet weekend. I worked on the jigsaw puzzle while Dad watched the basketball.

On Sunday we went over to my house. Dad did not eat too well on Sunday though he did try everything, just didn't eat very much. He did manage to finish the ice cream in the evening though.

At the dining hall on Sunday a man came over and talked about his service in the merchant marines in WWII and asked about the size of the Destroyers that Dad served on. Dad didn't say much but he obviously enjoyed the conversation.

Dad Weak Today

Dad has been in bed all day. Every time I try to help him up he just falls back into bed. He is hurting but I don't know what exactly.

He didn't eat dinner, just some pecan pie and nothing today, just water.

I left a message for Dr. Lichstein. Also the nurse did not come last week--I thought she was scheduled to come. I called the Bayada nurses and Barbara was going to call Theresa and find out what is going on.

Ilene should be here. She can monitor him tonight and see if he improves. I also asked Suzie to drop by after work if she is up to it.

Drive with Dad

I drove down to see Jason's new house with Dad (about 60 miles). Jason wasn't home--out getting his TV screen fixed. One of the remote controls for the Wii system got thrown at the screen and tore it a bit. I guess those games can get violent! It is nicely sodded in the front with straw in the back that will hopefully grow grass really soon. Inside it is airy and nice with a small bedroom next to front door that will be used for computer room. There is a nice master bath with a very large tub! Not sure if it is a hot tub or not. The toilets are lower than Dad's though, so he was surprised when he started to sit down. I was too!

When we got back Dad was too tired to get up and eat dinner. He barely ate 1/2 of a pecan pie. I hope he is okay. Maybe he is coming down with flu or just tired, not sure.

I hope the ride did not tire him; I thought he would enjoy the change of scenery. Oh well.

Dad Talks About Mom

Dad wanted to know where Mom was. He had just talked to her yesterday! Anyway it was a difficult conversation, because he kept getting his words mixed up but anyway after a while he went back to the couch and said how "embarrassed" he felt that he had forgotten Mom had died!

Dad seemed a little depressed and I was really tired from helping Jason and Ashley pack, so I didn't get Dad off to bed like I should have. He spent the night in the chair. I woke up at 4 am and was more energized to get Dad ready for bed. Then I went back to bed as well and he and I both slept soundly for 4 hours.

I am making fried eggs and bacon this morning for a change from cereal. I like to do that once a week.
