Hi again, Marilyn, I am praying for Frank's healing and for strength for you. when my husband was sick, we had days like that. they pounce down on the one closest to them, their caregiver, and it hurts, but you have to have a hardened shell around you to bear the brunt. I also know the different meds and anesthetics given him also can affect thinking and personality. Hope he gets the bed tomorrow for the step down unit, and that they will order Chantex, and above all, that tomorrow will be a far far better day for you.

Hi, Today was not a good day. They waited to see if they would have a bed for Frank in the step-down unit, but since they wanted a bed that was close to the nurses' station, there are none available so far. Frank is trying to get up and he doesn't know where he is.I asked him to drink some Pepsi that the nurse asked me to bring him and he said "Marilyn, don't start on me; get out of my room". So, I went out and the nurse hugged me and told me that sometimes with these brain injuries, people hurt the one that they love most. I got control of myself and went back. Then he thought he was eating spaghetti at our house and he thought then he could smoke. I have asked several times for them to give him the patch or Chantix. I mentioned it again and the nurse said that she would make a note to the doctor. They have told me that several times. I'm very tired since I got up at 4:00 and laid in bed since 2:00 and finally got up. If I told anyone I would call, I'll call you tomorrow. Thank you for your love, support and please, keep the prayers coming for Frank. Thank you for caring.
