Good morning everyone!
Yesterday they transferred my mom to rehab. It is a very nice place, and so far so good. I did leave and come home last night, and am breathing a sigh of relief that I didn't get any phone calls to come back during the night because she was freaking out. It sure felt good to sleep in my bed again. That chair/bed thing in the hospital room is better than nothing, but it's never going to win any awards for comfort. This morning I have to get some clothes for my mom. She had on a little housecoat when went to ER, and they had to cut that off to get it off her arm. So right now she's at rehab with nothing other than the gown from the hospital. In order to do PT she's going to need some things that button down the front as she can't raise her arm to get anything over her head. Unfortunately, the majority of her tops are little knit things that do go on over her head, as buttons are hard for her. Will go by their AL apartment and pick up pants, and what she does have that buttons but will definitely have to make a trip to Wal-Mart, Target, etc. and pick up a few other things today. Will need to find some little housecoat/duster things that fasten down the front for her to sleep in too. My dad didn't get to see her yesterday as he had to go to the hematologist for treatment, so we will have to get him to visit with her today. DH is not feeling well. He has a really bad toothache, so trying to get into the dentist for that. But, I'm being positive. Things are improving. My mom didn't freak out last night at rehab. JA hasn't blown the world up yet. We'll get through this hurdle too.
Looking forward to being able to peruse the news, sip my coffee and solve the world's problems with all of you again hopefully soon. In the meantime, I am thinking of you and miss you. Have a lovely day!

nashville11, I lurk this thread. This sounds all too familiar to what I went through with my mom back in 2008. You are a good daughter. I wish you peace and strength.

Nashville11: My thoughts are with you and your family and I hope your DM recovers quickly. For me, these events in our personal lives bring back my perspective on life. At the moment, its very hard to deal with whats going on; what's-his-name; and the havoc that certain people-in-power seem to be able to create, emotionally and physically.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. Actually back at the hospital. She needs a transfusion, probably two units. Don't even ask me how angry I am right now that the hospital discharged her only to have to be brought right back when they already knew she was very anemic. It is a long story, and I am on my phone. Just know I am a very unhappy camper right now.

Joyce- I have been out of pocket for a bit. Just catching up.
Oh your poor mom, to have all this going on and she not being able to understand the whys and wherefore. Your poor dad not being with her.
I don't blame you for being so upset that they released her too soon. I would be beyond livid.
Again please take care of yourself too, you are the best daughter sweetie(so easy to give advice to others) thank goodness for an understanding and supportive DH.
Love, hugs and positive vibes going out to you and your family.

Not even going to mention Guam and the fool we have as leader of our country. Every day he tops his own stupidity.
The leader of N.K. is thrilled to have someone to play his Juvenile games with...The adult ignored him for 8 years.
Kim Jong Un and JA are such a disgrace as leaders of their respective countries.

"Kim Jong Un and JA are such a disgrace as leaders of their respective countries."
Leaders? Anne, you're too kind. lol. Unstable, alarming, unhealthy, puffed up, hot headed, out of control lunatics, is how I see them.
Joyce, you have every right to be angry with people that don't do their job. Especially when their job is to give proper medical care to someone you love. I'm mad with you.
((((Joyce))))

Hello again!
FINALLY got my mom back to rehab yesterday afternoon about 2:30. She was very upset all day. It was rough. Hoping that now we can finally start getting into a routine. Today is my Dad's 90th birthday. Not the celebration we had planned.
I have to get caught up on the news, but probably won't be today. A lot has to be done today. It's good to have friends, and to find that there are people I don't even "know" as I know those who usually post here that share their compassion with strangers. Makes me know there is still hope for the world even though there is a JA in the Oval.
