Saturday afternnon. Reg was moved from ICU this morning. That was quite an ordeal. He's down to 1 IV and the NG tube. I am worried about his state of mind right now. He is having difficulty with communication. We are using a white board, but Reg likes to gester more than anything and he tries to mouth words, which before this surgery I had gotten pretty good at understanding him. Now with the tongue so swollen what he's trying to say to me is a mystery. I give him the white board and just pushes it away in frustration. If anyone can speak to this as a caregiver.....

Tammy I will watch his retention, however he is on Lasix so I'm not sure that will be an issue.

I also would like to know if anyone could speak to the next few days as to what to expect. I feel like I'm flying blind.
