didn't get there in time to see her primary care dr didn't think I would but was hoping he told mom that she was healthier than some people half her age and really in most ways she is the only meds she is on is one for her thyroid and a couple of supplements vit D and anti acid as well as fake Tylenol. she is and always will be somewhat anemic. had a doctor till her years ago she just doesn't build blood easy and the same dr told her that her body doesn't accept iron or something to that effect.. so she just won't take it hence she stays anemic and one can't force her... ortho didn't show up but some dr did that talked to me a bit about the steps of care that could be used like she is on floor care then there is the next step aggressive PT or less aggressive or home of course she is all for home but I watched the nurses struggle to get her out of bed to the commode that was place not far from her and then get her back in bed... I think they are more going with the less aggressive care unless she improves a lot... a whole lotshe sleeps in the recliner I think cause it helps with her breathing I told her she didn't even have a bed to sleep in she does but doesn't I was talking about a hospital bed... she said she can sleep in her recliner like she does.... but I don't think she thought about getting out of it if you hurt badly sorta edging to the side of the bed and somewhat rolling hurts badly how is she going to pull herself up to stand from a recliner??? this one dr said that they would see how she was doing by Monday or Tues... as to the rehab I don't know if they will allow visitors or limited as is the hospital... I hope that it isn't that way... and I hope that her stay is short there but think it will happen... it's getting cold I am so ready to leave but so up in the air will I stay if that is all that can be done yes... but quite frankly my brother's house is better for her than here... he has a handicapped daughter so it was built with her in mind... wide halls bigger rooms... larger restrooms I wouldn't be able to get mom into the shower there they have a walk in shower yet at the same time they have so much to do to take care of dd that asking mom to be with them is asking a lot... there are some things that will have to be done one is the shower it would have to be made into a walk in instead of a enclosed bath... I just don't know what we will be able to do to fix it so she can easily get around... how much home health will help talk about running off at the mouth...
if I don't go down need to still take care of the trailer winterize it at the least do all that that I've never done
and I so want to go home but guess we will see if that happens... you know what I miss??? is shopping for me going to some store to buy the books I want not have to have dd's pick them up admit the the candy I want all that kind of stuff...
my schedule has gotten so off so I need to go in and read my scriptures that I usually do in the morning tomorrow before I go to the hospital I need to go to the store need milk and stuff to make beef veggie soup... sounds so good right now that ice cream I finished off is making me so cold!!! might have to chase it with hot chocolate...

you all have a good night
