we are at the 'hospital calls me at 2am to ask if there had been discussions between my grandpa and i about how much effort do we want to spend to keep him alive' levels y'all
they did the swallow exam and he literally cannot swallow at all, like the muscles just aren't working
they're gonna him a peg tube which is better than getting nutrients via IV. i consented to this, accidentally (i was saying 'yeah' because that's what NTs do to make it clear you're listening...
update on my grandpa: i didn't get a phone call from him yesterday but i just called the ICU to get an update on him and here's what i know:
- they've downgraded him from the big thing that gives him oxygen to the smaller thing that goes into his nose
- he's having difficulties swallowing right...
My grandpa is going back in the ICU.
I will try and visit him tomorrow, if he's even still here.
I've been mentally preparing myself what I feel is going to happen sooner rather than later since he was admitted to the hospital on Sunday.
Transformers is basically irrelevant in Japan these days, I can't imagine that Takara will do anything without Hasbro also being able to directly import and release it in their markets when it comes to the brand these days.
Ok my grandpa ain't coming home today because they haven't even done the colonoscopy because his blood pressure and jive is a bit too low so they just called me to consent for another transfusion and a bit of minor treatment for him as part of it
Weird ass phone call from hospital
Hospital calls me to say my grandpa is a bit confused this morning (not like he was the other day confused but still a little confused cuz he apparently couldn't fall asleep last night so it's the tired confused) and he doesn't want to take one of his pills...
He's apparently coming home tomorrow but I think he'll have to go back because I think he does need surgery or something but I guess the surgery won't be for a little bit so they figure he's OK to go home and be here until then.
He just called me and was completely lucid btw.
I don't know if they have.
All I know is that they've done the upper endoscopy but now I'm waiting for a phone call for me to consent to them doing a colonoscopy too and they (at least as of yesterday) have him on a liquid diet that will make him jive so his colon and lower intestine and all...
At Publix a few weeks ago (three weeks ago exactly), I found some frozen shoyu ahi poke and I decided to try it tonight. Decided to have it with some rice because I didn't have any other toppings (and just having the tuna and the sauce would be kind of boring) and it was really good.
I think it...
The literal worst he's done before this is like thinking that there's something he pulls out in the space between his pillow before he has to go to bed, but I think that's mostly because he has a pillow that he puts there.
He was completely lucid the day before yesterday too.
