He seems much more alert and interested today. His "roommate" (Kenneth the cat) attempted to snack on some baby food and sniff the patients butt. Patient response was in line with baseline behavior before surgery, i.e. quick spin and yap at roommate. Therefore, patient reflexes seem adequate. Roommate perceptive to patient's needs and returned to his own area of the room of own accord. Roommate praised for effective conflict resolution skills.
Effects of pain medication are evident. Patient is resting comfortably. Will give updates to incoming shift.
"Nurse Matthew"  | LOL! It sounds like you are doing a great job, and he's improving!
