So my uncle is in a not so good state. it started when he got pneumonia. my aunt also had it so when he got out and she had to stay for a few more days he was put into a home. Apparently the home didnt take care of him very well and he got hom very dehydrated and undernourished. He was given his medication (which will be discussed momentarily). so the day after he went home with virginia he woke up and was chilly so he went to put on a sweatshirt, lost his balence, fell and broke his hip. V who is as big around as she is tall couldnt pick him up and got a neighbor to come over. he called the ambulance and c was taken to the hospital once again. he had hip surgery that weekend. While in the hospital recovering they realized that his kidneys are failing. Now remember how i said he was getting his meds? well apparently when they arent given with sufficient amounts of water they can cause kidney damage. So now he is in the hospital. 2 weekends ago i went up on sat and went to visit in the hospital. he was quiet and seemed like he was just bothered by everyone. he didnt want to be touched, or fed or spoken to. to be fair he is well over 80 and just fed up. i got to see L and S at least. i had to call R bc her mother K is a selfish bitch and didnt tell her that C is not doing so well (this is the same woman who told V that R was working on thanksgiving bc she didnt want her to go when K couldnt. we are a terrible family that obviously want to ruin their relationship even more. whatever). the following thursday i had gone home because i needed to transfer some funds. i was then roped into going to the hospital again. now this time the entire wing had signs that gloves and gowns need to be worn while in each room and hands must be washed every time you leave and enter a room (which means some moron spread something). he was even more pale and quiet. when V came she told us that he hasnt eaten and he refused to take his pills that morning. then when they went to change his IV noone could find a vein and they certainly poked around plenty. right before we were leaving they were trying to find a decent vein in his neck.
So this weekend i might have to go back up on sunday again. Mom said that V needs laborers at her home (which i dont get).
just called mom and NOW i hear that my father is in the fucking hospital. lovely.
**EDIT** Turns out he is fine. he had chest pains but everything appears normal. he still has to go get a bunch of tests tomorrow at another hospital.
