So more on this home care nurse. I had to wait till she left to.
Let's start with the one on the 11th that came just to do paperwork. She wanted to know if he had any wounds. He had 2 brandades 1 on each arm. Didn't even look at the swollen leg. then ask if I needed any supplies. I told her alcohol prep pads and gloves. So, 5 days later a box full of wraps and 4x6 pads for dressing wounds arrives. But nothing We need or ask for. This helps explain why Medicare's in trouble
Fast forward to the nurse that came on the 15th. This is the one that's to do blood draws and check everything else out. Oh, that leg is pretty swollen that's it nothing.
Now were to the blood draw. There are a few tests on the script she never seen or heard of. So, she gets several tubs out she thinks is right. The last on she thinks is a green one but she has dark and light green. I give her credit for trying. She did call Hershey and ask. Then poor thing couldn't get blood after 3 try's I felt bad for hubby and her. Plus, she was running out of time because she had to take the blood up to Hershey before 4:00. I was nice I told her I'd take hubby to Hershey tomorrow and we didn't need her till the 1st of March. Because they would be taking blood on the 24th at the Cancer institute before his appointment with the Hematologist. She seemed relieved.
As for the whole reason the hospital set up Home nurse care was to make it easier on me didn't. happen. I had to get him to and into the car any way.
