F’s brother has gotten tickets for the 6th of June around 10AM and our tickets are currently for tomorrow (Tuesday.) I am loosely thinking we should plan to stay in Vegas Thursday night and fly out early Friday morning even though it will be more costly. *If we can get seats. That way we can spend a day with his brother on Thursday. He can drop us off in Vegas before leaving for Pahrump on Thursday evening. I am 50/50 on his brother renting a car right away. We are driving F’s car that has to be returned to Pahrump sometime Thursday. It would also work flying home on Saturday morning if the flights are crowded. The tall pole in the tent is K is still quite ill with Vertigo and she will have strong opinions about which flight to take home. (We should choose them before seeing F today.)
Dad has Med-port installed and dad had a good hearty lunch. We are waiting on a transport technician to bring us to the 6th floor for Chemo. That should happen today, although it is getting rather late. (It’s 15:30)
So, now that we know dad will still be in this hospital on Thursday, it simplifies things just a little. The tall pole in the tent is that we’ll bring our bags with us to Vegas on Thursday. We need to be dropped off at the hotel Thursday before everyone leaves for Pahrump. We have an early morning flight that will require us to be up at 03:30 on Friday.
Dad is now on the 6th floor and is waiting on Chemo treatment. We left the hospital shortly after moving him to the 6th floor. One thing we noticed is that dad has very small bumps that have showed up on his right side and back. The nurse said that he didn’t think it was anything serious, the nurse on the 6th floor didn’t have a chance to look before we left. I didn’t see them on his chest or his left side, the nurse was loosely thinking some kind of sensitivity to his surroundings.
The hospital sent someone up to gather his meal preferences for the next couple days. (But he was in IMO on the third floor. ) It remains to be seen whether they transfer the requests to the sixth floor. Hope so…
Got a couple laughs, a few more smiles and smirk’s today, so he seems in good spirits given the situation. They checked his weight and I think it was 147 Lbs.
