Thread Name: BS: Curmudgeon's Medical Woes - Winter 2010
Subject: RE: BS: Curmudgeon Fell -- On Way to Hospital
He was NOT admitted for observation.

He was admitted because of the pneumonia/blood infection (when they didn't know what it was, they called it pneumonia and infection).

None of this is coming from Dover Rehab -- all the information is from the hospital.

And I don't know WHY they think they can get Tom to make financial and health decisions while he is recovering from the angiogram AND the drugs he was on. I don't know whether the doctors were telling him one thing and me another or if they couldn't understand things Tom was telling them or why they didn't fill ME in on any of this.

Okay, my car is out of the driveway and in the cleared area up the hill behind Tom's car (in our neighbor's "other" driveway. Meanwhile, I haven't been able to reach my plow guy (who cleared BEAUTIFULLY in front of my car -- I only had to clear the car off again, not shovel out in front of it). And I haven't been able to reach my neighbor who might have my plow guy's cell number.

Oops, just got a message from Drew's wife -- he'll be here to plow the driveway in an hour or less. Cool. Also just tried calling Tom and there's no answer in his room, so he's probably on his way or already at Dover Rehab.

I hope I get to veg out SOMETIME tonight. Sigh.
