When Dad woke up this morning at 2:30 I thought he was getting up to go to the bathroom. Instead, I think he thought it was time to get up. I noticed his bandage was pretty much red colored where his cut had been “weeping”. The doctors told him it would do that for a few days. I  changed the dressing and put him back to bed. He slept until his alarm went off at 6.

He sleeps with his legs on a wedge but sometimes he moves around a lot in his sleep and they slip off to one side which is what had happened last night. The weeping had bleed through the bandage onto his fitted sheet and the mattress pad underneath.

When we got up at 6 I stripped his bed, washed out the worst of the blood in the sink and then took them down to the laundry room. They finished washing while dad finished getting dressed to go down for breakfast and I read the paper. While we were eating they finished drying. I put his bed back together, gathered up all my stuff, and came home.

I cleaned the bathrooms and did a quick vacuuming job, took a shower, then did some things at my desk. This afternoon I will do more kit stuff for Bob.

We finally have a nice, sunny day with fairly warm temperatures.
