Well, it sounds like everything is in order and you can have a great holiday! I am sure Allan will bounce back...he seems to be pretty resilient. You have good docs you trust, and like you said, Allan has YOU! Which is 5 star service.

I usually get bread and water left at the door! I am kidding. That said, hubby thinks caregiving is doing the dishes and wash, which he religiously does. I do have to give him credit for changing my PICC dressing a few years ago....once he told me to "shut up", nicely of course, but actually, I felt a lot better when he said that....I felt that he could handle it, and he didn't need my sage advice...and he didn't break aseptic technique. I envy people who are totally trusting of others providing care.

I once had a nurse steal my demerol shot, after a C-section. My husband was right there, and when we called her on it, she came back with one, so we know she had to have taken it....isn't that nice? She said, 'this will knock you out very well, since you already had one.' My hubby said, no, you didn't give it...you washed off her behind and left with the full shot....you never gave it." She huffed off. We should have reported her....but that was 30 some years ago. Now meds are much better controlled...but this kind of thing sometimes happens. I always ask too...what are you giving me, what are you putting in my IV? I must be a real pain in the butt....however, I have caught a few mistakes. Allan is very fortunate to have you standing guard.
