Bill's day didn't get any better and he was very tense when I left tonight. He grimaced several times as if in pain, but when we asked he always said no. He didn't want to cooperate with the nurses and his medications. He ended up sleeping most of the day and wasn't interested in anything. I'm starting to wonder if he isn't getting a little depressed and since he can't express himself it's frustrating him that much more.
His nurse the last 3 days has been wonderful with him. She talked to him about everything that was going on and asked permission before doing things. It's too bad she's now off until Friday! But, everyone on staff here is wonderful. They are all very dedicated. One of the housekeepers brought me a pocket notebook and pen today with a note that says "You are such a wonderful wife and friend. Keep up the good work. I hope he gets better soon. Love your housekeeper Smiley". Such a small thing, but very touching. Even when she hasn't been our housekeeper, she would stop in or stop me in the hall and ask how we were doing.
All for today. Hopefully we'll both get a good nights sleep and have better days tomorrow.
