Activity Early In The Morning
March 25, 2008 by randomguru
The patient woke me up around 3:30am. Looking across the room I noticed he was sitting in his bed, then he’d lie down, then he’d sit, then he’d lie down. While he was sitting it appeared he was eating some of the food that had been on his table, left over from a late attempt at dinner. Then he spit something into the trash can next to him.
I asked him if he needed help going to the bathroom and he said, “yes”. He seemed to really struggle and I wasn’t sure if it was pain or if he was just sleepy. But he was slow in getting to the bathroom.
While he was in the bathroom I asked if he needed help and he said he was okay. I kept checking, and I was really sleepy. At one point I checked the time and he’d been in there for an hour and a half! I asked him to open the door and when he did he was sitting on the floor and couldn’t get up? Apparently, he’d been cleaning the bathroom, toilet bowl and sink with a disinfectant spray. I thought this rather bizarre but I guess it made sense, since he’s the kind of guy who always want to help.
Anyway, being up from 3:00am to 4:30am messed up my sleeping pattern, and it didn’t help that I had to take my nephew to school this morning. So, now I’m feeling groggy but now I have to take my son to his doctor’s appointment in an hour.
