Samuel seems to be having a pretty good day considering where we are. He is relaxed and his pain meds are keeping him fairly comfortable. He is watching tv and sleeping. Haley has been visiting with him. He says his abdomen feels very stretched. He wants to sit more upright so it isn't stretching so far, but they can't put the bed at more than a 30 degree angle because of his spinal injury. Today is the first day he has complained about his spine hurting. It is hard to find a comfortable position with so much going on.
I spoke with the charge nurse and gave him Samuel's note. I would think they would make sure he doesn't have her again. Samuel is a very compliant patient and all the other nurses love him. He doesn't ask for much and we just want him treated with dignity and compassion, like all patients should be. I feel like I have to be his voice right now because he can't speak for himself. I am sure that is a vulnerable feeling itself. Thank you for praying for Samuel.
