Restless Night

Spent the night in room with Mom and it is a wonder she gets any sleep! Every two hours the nurse comes in either to take her blood pressure, temperature, blood, etc. Around 3 this morning, Mom was getting up and going for a walk down the hall very determined to go to the bathroom! She had tugged on her catheter enough that the nurse had to pull it. Then she was up every hour to go. I do not feel rested, but she is still sleeping sort of cattywankers sideays in the bed with her head on the bar and her feet dangling off the other side.

She spent a good bit of time talking jibberish through the night. I would pick up words i recognized, but most of her talk was incomprehensible. She has drifted off now after being in the recliner all morning. The nurses decided to just let her sleep off the Benadryl. Doc ordered a sitter but none are available so here I sit. She tends to wake up and decide to walk - in her unstable state, she could easily fall! She is a hoot when she starts talking. I have no idea what she was saying but she talked up a storm until 3! I downoaded some books to read so i am not climbing the walls. An afternoon nap sounds pretty good so hoping Chip will come by and take sitter duty for a bit.
