Dad's legs are badly swollen. Only around midday he comes off the sleeping tablet (I asked he is NOT given). Ate all his soup, grazed tiny amount of mash and the minutest bite of his chicken meatball. His eye, followed by his hand is drawn to the tub of jelly. At least he had almost half of that.
The doctors decided since his left kidney is still producing nothing he is to have the draining line into it "repositioned". Soon after lunch an orderly and I move him from the chair to bed, he is given a shot to sedate him and we wheel him to a different building connected by an elevated corridor. Now, at 2 pm he is back in his ward, fast asleep, hopefully comfortable.
A glimmer of light: the repositioned draining line is definitely more effective now, so I'm hopeful that will also help reduce the (pretty bad) swelling of the legs and feet.
