G is nauseous

Well, G was nauseous this afternoon and evening. The surgeon said the venous pressure
is greater, which I expected because now that the carotid artery is cleared out, there is more blood going to the head, and more blood trying to get out of the heat.

G is also constipated from the pain meds. His dialysis Dr. said to him "be sure to
watch your BM's", but then she didn't put any orders in for stronger stuff which he
should have been getting. So, as usual, this afternoon I had to go ask the nurse to
call the Dr. for an order for some miralax.
Which hasn't yet done the trick. If it doesn't by tomorrow morning they will give
him something stronger on the surgeons orders, not on the renal Dr., whom we don't
like or trust anyway.
G is having trouble standing. But, I am sure that in a few days he will improve.
If, they don't do something stupid in the hospital to make him worse.

He was suppose to have breathing treatments today, he has a cough (this should
be standard procedure after a surgery anyway). He said they had asked twice about
it, but no one came by.

So that was my last request when I left the hospital. At least there was a CNA who
seemed to be quite intent on making that happen.

Hope it does.
