Day Three. Again.

I couldn't get anyone into the daycare today and we decided not to close it for the day when, in theory, it shouldn't take more than minutes for Kevin to get the infusion pump removed.

He text messaged me for 90 minutes from the clinic. Ninety frustrating, wait and listen to the pump beep minutes.

After multiple visits we've concluded the problem on the infusion side of things is staffing. Too many patients or too few nurses. The nurses there don't waste time or goof around. There just aren't enough of them to go around. And if one of them is out for any reason, things really topple quickly.

He's not feeling great this round. And the smell of the clinic adds to his nausea. I am, once again, annoyed that it's the things that don't have to be which most add to his struggles.
