October 11, 2010

Day 45… Woooo Hoooooo!!!!! Broke Mom outta’ the Big House and she’s HOME!! Like Kevin said, “Don’t look back and keep on running!” =D

When she was told she was being released she told them, “Ok. But I want to take a shower and shampoo before I leave because I want to be spiffy going home!” When I got there to pick her up I found her freshly shampooed, showered and eating lunch…. Helped her get dressed, picked up her meds then drove her home….

Though ‘Home’ she still has a long road ahead of her… still has a boatload of meds she has to take and now has to live life in a way no one would dream of in their worst nightmare!! Mom’s pretty feisty but we think the reality of ‘being home’ is weighing on her too… She’s feeling nauseated, suture site is giving her pain, discomfort and she only ate 2 bites of her dinner tonight.:-( She says she’ll try and eat more tomorrow….

It could be that the combination of being back home, regular eating and reality setting in is culminating in intestinal distress… It does for me when I stress out!!... “Normal!” ;-) Can’t fix that, just have to deal with it… Added problem is, no news on our sister Barbara… Mom may not say anything but that is probably adding to her stress level… Hoping tomorrow will be better… xoxoxo
