Day 3/4: June 8/9

This was a really difficult day for Danny. ICU psychosis set in. Nurse told me that was a little unusual for only 3 days in ICU and someone his age. But, hey, you can't tell if it's day or night, all kinds of things are beeping, and buzzing. You've got all kinds of wires attached to your body everywhere.  


In lots of pain--you can see it on his face!!  Drinking lots of water, but not eating much.  

Very itchy from the pain meds.  Seemed confused.  Agitated.  Pulled out his iv.  

Despite his agitation and pain, Danny did not lose his sense of humor!  Kept saying "son of a biscuit maker."  I've known Danny for over 30 years, and I've never heard him say that.

Couldn't sleep.  {Wouldn't sleep:  thought they were harvesting his organs!}

Complained of being cold--it was the compressed air mask. Kept saying "this is ridiculous!"

Told his nurse, Elsa, she was no princess!!
