CAREGIVING: Monday Kathy was pretty miserable with her chest congestion and coughing so I cancelled the physical therapist. I tried to get caught up with some of my design work but I got so sidetracked with things here I forgot to send some work I had finished, in to my client. I don’t think I left the house except to go to the mailbox. She felt a little better in the afternoon.
Tuesday Melissa came in the morning and she and I gave Kath her shower and she got her dressed. I need to give her a haircut. (Kathy, not Melissa). Brook, our nurse came by and Kathy was doing much better at the time. She didn’t hear as much ‘junk’ in her lungs. Later I helped Kathy do her exercises. But in the afternoon she started coughing again and we were low on cough medicine again. I wish I could arrange for a tanker truck delivery of Mucinex. I ran down to the Village Food Mart in Hampden and they had some generic DM cough syrup. When she went to bed I used every pillow I could find to prop her up so she could breath. It seemed to help and she slept well. It was a pillar of pillows. She has her appointment with her primary care doc tomorrow morning.
