She has been to see a DO for a physical and had tests by urgent care to make sure her delirium wasn't caused by UTI. Also her weight is causing malnutrition and her paranoia preventing her from drinking the water she needs to have a healthy body and shows dehydration. All tests point to being relatively healthy physically. I have calls into her case manager and psychiatrist. I want to admit her. But I need them to help do so to make this transition as smooth as possible. We have an appt with case manager therapist Friday. As she can't be convinced of who people are and what they do, I hope that will make admission possible. She isn't suicidal. She says she wants to stay here and basically not get better. I'm treating her like a two year old. There is absolutely no reasoning with her.
I've told her I'm on strike and have been rewatching season 1 of The Gilded Age with my hubby. I've also checked up on my own bloodwork and recent checkups. I expect to hear back from my doctor re: BUN/Creatinine Ratio. Never knew about that, but my number is elevated. Pertains to kidneys.
I know I'm procrastinating, but I blame Kaiser Permanente for not being as helpful as they can be.
