I only had to make three trips to the pharmacy but now we have everything that he needs. I spent over an hour trying to sort through his medications and put them in the right containers. Some are a bit more difficult because they are one strength certain days and different one's on the next. Those are one time a day so that's easier to keep track of. The liquid nebulizer one's we'll just track. The oxygen concentrators are very quiet so that should not keep us awake at night. They delivered a walker but also that silly commode. I have no clue what to even do with it but it will make a nice planter. It will NOT be an excuse for Chris to not have to walk 5 feet to the bathroom.
A two day "special" treatment for Chris means we have to get up at 11 or 12 and give him something so I'm glad I can work from home again tomorrow.
He's going to have a shake, then take his pills at five, then he'll go upstairs around 6 for a much needed shower (a plastic chair from outside will have to do right now because shower chairs are over $70).
Chris was able to make it up the stairs pretty easily, all things considered and after about an hour allowed me to lower his oxygen from 5 to 4 liters which is what the prescription is for. He's also got ten portable oxygen tanks, each will last between two and two and a half hours. We just let them know when we are down to two and they will come out and replace them in a day.
He loves his throne but has just gone back to his favorite black leather chair for a bit. It's good that he is a bit more mobile and knows that he will need to be able to walk into the oncologist on Friday.
