Dad had a CT of his right knee and hip this morning. They are looking for possible causes of the severe pain and inability to bear any weight on that leg. They opted not to transfer him to a wheelchair because of how severe his pain is (and how difficult it is to move him) and wheeled his bed down to CT. Dad was glad for that. We are still waiting for CT results. Dad has had very little appetite. (The food looks nasty! 😜 Blech!) So if you come see him ... sneak in yummy food! We have not seen a doctor yet today.
Ella has cheesecake to sneak in!

Dad's very happy about that! Though the PT overheard, and said: "she has to bring enough for the staff".   :-) _____________________________ From: Barb Gmail <bakerclan6@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, April 16, 2017 2:36 PM Subject: Re: [Dad & Mom] Dad To: GardnerSiblings e-mail list <gardnersiblings@mailman.xmission.com> Ella has cheesecake to sneak in!

Bishop Yoyo is here visiting with Dad. And he was given the sacrament a little while ago. The nurse just got authorization to switch from Norco to dilaudid, the most powerful pain killer available here, stronger than morphine. I'm glad they are taking his pain seriously. The PT helped dad stand, and he was grateful for that. Now he's sitting up in the chair, and much happier. Today's CT shows no fractures. Blaine On Sun, Apr 16, 2017 at 2:56 PM -0600, "Blaine Gardner" <blaine@xmission.com> wrote: Dad's very happy about that! Though the PT overheard, and said: "she has to bring enough for the staff".   :-) _____________________________ From: Barb Gmail <bakerclan6@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, April 16, 2017 2:36 PM Subject: Re: [Dad & Mom] Dad To: GardnerSiblings e-mail list <gardnersiblings@mailman.xmission.com> Ella has cheesecake to sneak in!

From Barb: MRI says quad muscle on his left leg is torn. It hooks to the patella?The nurse practitioner Sammy was in. The quad muscle is only fixed with surgery, not sure if they would consider doing surgery at his age, but the Dr will be in this afternoon. No food or water till after seeing the Dr today in case they decide to do surgery today.
