The Red Brick Times

Poor Linda has such a day yesterday. She has difficulty communicating her needs, and often speaks in opposites, ("I need a hot cloth," for example, when we know she means cold.) She also insisted we were overmedicating her and that she had already taken her dosages. (Did she mean the opposite?) All meds except for pain medication have been stopped and changed to liquids, so they can be slipped inside her mouth while she's resting. Her pulse is rapid, her blood pressure is low. She was able to recognize and say hello to her brother when he stopped by for a few minutes. But she's home, where she wants to be, and other than a few times when things need to be adjusted, she's comfortable. If you've never met her sister, Shirley, I can tell you she's an amazing woman who's taken on the responsibility of Linda's care.
