wally is home

Wally is home now in his own bed. . .well almost. . .he is in a hospital bed, but he is in his own bedroom. This afternoon we changed Wally into his pj's and got him ready to for his ambulance ride from Menorah Medical Center to our home. He was in very good spirits doing LOTS of flirting with all of the nurses! He even gave the nurse who removed his IV some comical stares as she tried to remove his IV with out hurting his arm. . .she was not sucessful, but made her laugh in the process! The pan seared Tilapia, mashed potatoes, and green beans were what Wally had for lunch today. . .and he LOVED IT! He actually ate about 3 or 4 bites of each item, even his strawberry shortcake. They may have been small bites, but that is the most he has eaten in weeks.

Wally was very amused at all of the fuss over him this afternoon! He was very happy to find out that the ambulance driver was from Mass! He made some jokes about how bad the Yankees are. All and all today was a very good day for Wally. He is happy to be home and very happy to be without the IV. . .even though it was painful getting it off!

Our church is still providing us with meals each day for dinner. They are very very helpful. Now that I am at home I need to get going on going over his bills. That has had to take a back seat to keeping him comfortable.

It is now 10:45pm and I am waiting for the hospice care nurse to deliver pain medicine and do some care instruction for me. She is going to be here around 11:30 pm. so much for going to bed "early". . .lol. Not that that would have happened anyway.

Hospice spoke about doing someing for Wally as a "last" wish type thing. We were thinking about doing some type of special bday party. . .any ideas out there people? Please comment or email me or Ralph. proverbs31momto5@yahoo.com
