The local rehab that we had wanted to take him to refused him because of the Lewy Body diagnoses. I had read that most nursing homes will not take LBD’s. And the lady we just spoke with said that is because they have a reputation of sometimes being violent. One thing I can say about our old guy, he is not violent. Actually, in his current state of mind he is rather a sweetie—according to one of the nurses we have spoken with. I guess he is like all old guys it is nice to have cute nurses and aids fussing over him.
He does seem a little weaker today but his color is good and he is talking about being hungry and seems to be fairly awake waiting for his supper. Unfortunately, they thought he was going to check out this afternoon, so his supper is late.
The nurse told us that they did not give him any more Ativan and we will find out about the Cymbalta before we leave.
