TGIF

I'm off tomorrow so I can take K to dialysis.  The manager is pissed at me, doesn't seem like he believes me since he said everyone always finds a reason to get Saturday off.  He's taking me off the schedule as punishment.  I am no longer scheduled at all on Saturdays.  I told him I could come work 2-10 but it's not what he wants so I'm out.  Oh well.  What can be done?  He HAS to go and family has to take him the first couple weeks till the social worker helps arrange transportation. 

Baron is coming over at the crack of dawn so we can get K to the car for dialysis and back out of the car when he comes home.  I hope.  He said he would on Wednesday night when I told him K fell coming into the apartment but I haven't heard anything since.

I did get us signed up for assistance through Parkland Hospital so now we can get him a doctor and prescriptions and stuff for just co-pays.  Whew.  That's a load off my mind. 

As for K he's doing OK.   I'm cutting his hair tonight and giving him his first shower if I can find something to cover his dialysis port and keep it dry.  Apparently, if it gets wet we are fucked.  I'm thinking plastic bag and waterproof medical tape?  I dunno.  I'll MacGyver something.  The man needs a shower.  I've given him a good wash-up and stuff the night he came home but there is nothing like a shower.

He's not really eating.  He has no appetite so it seems I am nagging him to eat.  He eats 2 bites of whatever and he's done and he doesn't want me to offer more than 2-3 bites worth of anything so I'm making super small portions.  That's not enough but I can see why, he just pukes everything up anyway.  He's holding stuff down a bit better today than yesterday.  For breakfast he had pears and graham crackers, he keeps the crackers down somehow.  For lunch 3 bites of salad, 2 bites of a chicken breast and 2 big green grapes.  He hadn't finshed it by the time I left but I told him I wanted it gone by the time I get home tonight.  That gave him 4 hours to complete.  I have veggie soup for him tonight.  Low sodium.  I need to learn to make soup base haha so I can forgo the canned stuff.  But the canned stuff is easier since he's barely eating.  I don't want a bunch of stuff going to waste.

Well I've gotta hop off this thing and get back to packing.  The office movers are coming tomorrow.  Come Monday morning I will be posting from my new spot and my new(ish) desk.  Boss is giving me one of the nicer ones since I will be out front in the reception area.  I'm cool with that.  I'm considering the comfy sofa area part of my office hahaha.
