Mother's First Weekend back from Hospital
Mother seemed to have a really good weekend. I got there Saturday (10:00) to relieve Jackie and stayed until Sunday (3:00) when Jackie came back. Jackie will stay until Mary (caretaker) comes tonight at 8pm. Mary will stay until Noon tomorrow and get mother her shower and wash her hair (spa day as Jackie calls it). Mother did not get up that many times Saturday night (3) and took a walk each day. She ate well and seemed in good spirits but complained about not having any energy. I thought it was probably from being in bed at the hospital for 4 days. She will start taking vitamins too so I think that will help. The physical therapist came Friday for an evaluation and a lady called today to set up a time to come Monday for an evaluation .......she said she was an occupational therapist to work with Mother on things to help her become more independent...like dressing, etc.
So glad we decided on the procedure to put in the mesh umbrealla and not do the Coumadin and I think Mother is too.
