Resting

Not much new going on.  The dialysis went well.  They've changed pauls pain meds to on-demand so he has a little button to push.  It puts a small amt in every ten min if he pushes the button.  This is good but slow to start because he had to build up the amt in his system.  He's resting well now and only pushing the button occasionally, so it must have caught up.  They did this because the single shot every few hours was doing a number on his bp.

The dr wants him to start eating so he had some pudding.  It didn't go so well.  They gave him some antinausea meds and we'll start over with a liquid diet tonight.

I learned that it depends on the dialysis tech whether or not I'm allowed in here during it, so I'm going to keep on asking, hoping for a tech that will let me stay.  :)
