Bill, August 16; stimulation, rash, and floor

Bill had all his therapies today. During PT/OT, they used the neurostimulators on his legs, specifically his thighs. For speech therapy, he got pudding.

He continues to have a bothersome rash from the reaction to antibiotic -- bummer. Benadryl tablets and Aveeno with oatmeal cream.

His biggest adventure today ended up with him on the floor. To get into the hair, a sling is placed under him, hooked to a lift, and up-over he goes. He's made the trip lots of times over the past, what, three weeks or so. Once he was in the chair today, he was a bit slouched. So the CNA's lifted up on the sling, but it pulled out from under him completely, and he slipped more forward.

Much help was called for, and eventually he was rehoused. But I think about 6 people are having to write up their versions of the incident. Gotta love paperwork.

Oh, he's fine, no injuries.
