Sunday -
Well what a whirlwind of a couple of days. On Friday morning the docs said Reg could go home. Yeah! After all sorts of things (medical equip.) being delivered to the hospital to take home with us, he was finally discharged at 4:30 pm. I don't drive well at night so we thought it best to stay at the hotel one more night. That went Okay. Reg slept most of the nght and then we drove home on Saturday. Of course it's alot of work caring for him, but that's okay, I don't mind.The leg area where they took the tissue is really bothering him and now his right leg is giving him fits as well so walking is pretty difficult. He live in a 2 story home and the stairs are a challenge for Reg. We have to return to the city on Wednesday for a swallow study and then once a week for a month. Other than that...the swelling is still pretty bad and of course the bruising. The tongue is also still quite swollen. Reg is trying to get water in his mouth with little success. The ice chips are okay but he has become sensitive to the cold. I'm really scared that he may never swallow again. He says it all feels pretty numb and that he can't tell if he's swallowing or not. I keep telling just to swallow for practice but he can't tell. So I'd say he's not. Anyone have any ideas?
