The Rehab center has sent Bob to Hospital with a stage 4 pressure sore.
As you may recall that when he went to that rehab center from here he had a stage one pressure sore, one that kept me waking up every 3-4 hours each night so I could go an turn him. While it was a watery blister when he came home from hospital from my diligence in turning him at nighht and moving him about every two hours during the day, I managed to get that watery blister to lose its water without breaking.
And that bed sore was caused by 9 days in the hospital where they all but killed the man.
This 'care' facility knows he is diabetic and promised me that they would keep turning him. They lied.
Apparently Tuesday night he 'fell' out of bed. With all of this great and wonderful care he has not been given I have to wonder which staff member I have to walk to their car to make certain they don't accidentally 'fall' several dozen times on the way to the car.
Furthermore, they waited three days on an infection in catheter. Three fucking days.
Come to find out that they didn't start pressure sore care immediately as they said they would when we took him in at 1:30 am in the goddamned morning. They waited to weeks - which is a brand new story since I asked the following afternoon when I went back to check up on him if they started the bedsore treatment. They all fucking lied to me.
I have had the flu since last year, being contagious I have done the right thing and not infected a nursing home with H1N1 - as a thinking, humane person would do. Unfortunately during my absence of not hounding those damned idiots on a daily basis they have wrecked the man.
I am so pissed right now. I can't sleep, can't eat - I want to go down to that facility and kick every single staff member squarely in the ass with my steel toed boots, then turn around and beat them with my cane.
So Bob is in hospital and is going into surgery Friday to deal with the stage 4 bed sore. And they have no idea what to do with the bad infection caused by the catheter.
I swear where ever I take him for medical help they make things hella worse.
The older I get the more I hate healthcare.
