Patrick made pizza last night for supper before I got home. So, when I walked through the door I was able to get Jimmy some yummy pizza from a fundraiser that Lisa Butler had just recently. BTW, Lisa... pizza is pretty good. I also heard great reviews on the subs. THANKS!!
Jimmy ate 1 1/2 pieces of pizza.. YAY... he took his meds- orally and subcutaneous and then we got his TPN hooked up. Time to snuggle in for some sleep. I went upstairs and finished watching American Idol... after YET ANOTHER phone call to Directv... how frustrating- BUT this time it was fixed.... or, so I thought!!- - - we went to bed and turned on the tv in the bedroom, OH CRAP... no signal, GRRRROOOWWWLLL!! I will have to make YET ANOTHER call to them today sometime... I just don't want to deal with it anymore. I am almost to the point of saying "Just come and take all of your equipment back"!!! OMG - - off to sleep...
Jimmy texted me "I need a cold wet rag" at 11:31PM- I jumped out of bed and ran down the steps to get his cloth. I was really scared... I thought that we would be making a trip to the ER. I expected to see him sitting at the side of his bed with sweat dripping off like last time when his stoma was huge. He wasn't that bad- THANK GOD!! I got his head and neck wiped and he got himself laid back down and I tucked him in... back to sleep.
At 3:51am I get a call from him saying "I need help majorly right now"... out of bed I jump and head down the steps. I walk in to see that his bag let loose and he had a mess between his feet. He tried to get up to pee and the bag just had a huge blowout. I got his socks wiped off and got him over to the bathroom because he still hadn't gotten to pee yet. Patrick came down to lend a hand... I had him help Jimmy while I went over and cleaned up the floor, wall, shelf, shoes, trash can, back pack, bed and under bed and shelf. MAN, that crap splashed everywhere. I found his one remote- silver lining!! We got his clothing changed and thrown in washer. OK- back to snooze a little longer. I DO need to give Patrick his props... he has been and continues to be a VERY big and supportive piece to this puzzle of life. THANK YOU PATRICK!!
Love and hugs to all.....
