Friday afternoon

Barb was awake when I got there this morning so got to visit a little bit. She's taking her fluids mostly off the "sponge on a stick" and through ice chips. She was very itchy again and asked me to scratch her head and neck. Evidently I wasn't rubbing hard enough because she told me to "use your nails" but I told her I didn't have much for fingernails so I massaged harder to try to make up for it. I asked if anything but her head itched and she said it was all over so we had the nurse give her more Benadryl to ease her discomfort. That kind of knocked her out and she was still sleeping when I left this afternoon.
