You can't make this shit up...

FIL was transferred to rehab on Saturday.  Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m. he pulled his PEG tube out.  I kid you not...less than 24 hours.

Did you know that rehabs and nursing homes don't allow restraints?  I get that they shouldn't be for everyone.  You shouldn't go into a facility and see everyone tied down.  BUT...when you have a man who is struggling with a brain injury and will not stay still, restraints are a good idea.  Apparently he was in and out of his bed, and eventually pulled his PEG tube.  Thankfully his bed was as far down as it could be.

When we went to visit, they had him by the nurse's station so they could keep an eye on him.  I'm not at all surprised by this...he has been busy and not sleeping for a month now.  He had a language explosion overnight, however.

FIL: Are we going or not?
Us: Where do you want to go?
FIL: Let's go get a beer.

FIL: I have a suggestion.  This is a pretty nice place, but I have a suggestion that they could make this a place where people could go to change  Like her.  She could come here to change.

Outside...near the parking lot.

FIL: That's a good place to park right there mister.

Then, of course, he started trying to get out of the chair/bed he was in.  It is like a chair/bed hybrid, b/c he kept getting out of the wheelchair.  This lays him back some to make it more difficult for him to get out.  BUT.......last night, rehab called again...

FIL fell out of the chair, by the nurse's station, and was on his way to the hospital.  Luckily, he was xrayed and  discharged with nothing broken.  BUT...seriously?  WTH??  Why doe residents have the "right to fall" but not the right to be kept safe?  Belt his ass into the chair.  Keep him safe.
