Luckily when I went this morning he seemed okay, no restraints but I called before I went. The doctor who was going to schedule the Lexascan came to talk to me before he did it, he was super nice and suggested that maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to do it with his dementia and he wanted to know I felt about it, I was totally on board since it was a stress test. He took me to a computer and went over all his tests with me. Super super nice. He said that he could go home then. But I have to say his wrists are black and blue from the restraints, I have not mentioned this to him since he is just happy to be home and is currently taking a nap in his recliner outside, it is 75. Lesson learned this will never happen again. I told my girlfriend and she said in the past she was told by some facilities that they do not use restraints that they are against the law. This I shall check into. Thanks for replying.

@jeanadair123 oh my gosh! You have both been through so much! But, my dear, you are the one carrying the burden & brunt of all of it. I am sorry.
I understand your older statement of life passing you by and being tired…
I’m glad today was a better day for you and that you were able to salvage some useful information from your dreaded experience. Thank you for sharing it so that we can learn from it, as well. Peace be with you.
