my father-in-law has been in the hospital for the last 3 weeks. What started as a simple procedure to remove some polyps from his intestine has turned into an extra 2 proceedures (one to drain an abcess, another emergency one to close up a hole left behind during the first surgery), added to a bout of pneumonia. He's been put into an induced coma to help him rest. Now they think he might have fluid either in his lungs or his stomach cavity... I almost WANT them to find something, so they can fix it and he can get better.
Added to that, the nurses that were caring for him before his last surgery (he's now in ICU) thought he had demetia, and weren't giving him the care he needed. He was delerious because of the pain, not because of his mentality!!
