We had a long day yesterday.
DW went to the nursing home Saturday to see her father and found he had severe abdominal and back pain. The nursing home, about to call DW anyway, sent him to the local hospital where they diagnosed stones in his gall bladder and bile duct. They could not do the procedure to remove the bile duct stones so they sent him by ambulance to the regional medical center in Hershey, PA, about two hours away.
I called off work and drove up there yesterday with DW and spent the day there, driving back in the evening because we had a 10:00 AM meeting scheduled with the Medicaid attorney and I'm supposed to go into work this afternoon. DW stayed in Hershey with her sister and her husband and will probably ride back with them today. At least that's where we left it yesterday.
Meanwhile in Hershey, the surgeons determined that FIL, 86 years old, could not safely withstand the surgery to remove the gall bladder so they put in a shunt to drain fluid to allow that to rest/recover before doing the surgery at a yet-to-be-determined time. Meanwhile, today they're doing the procedure to remove the bile duct stones.
Re the schedule meeting with the attorney, they said DW needed to be there so that meeting was canceled.
So that's why I didn't log in here yesterday.
Whew!
