Oct. 6th, 2011 01:55 pmAnother update on Grandma, as of 8ish last night:
* She'll be in the local hospital until her glucose is regulated again, maybe longer. Still waiting on the xrays to check for broken bones and fractures (left ankle and hips). She's got energy enough to be mad as a hornet about being hospitallized again, which is a good sign at her age, if somewhat harder to deal with.
* If there are broken or fractured bones, she'll be going to the short-term rehab wing of the local nursing home, and ideally be eased into the idea of moving there.
* If not, Mom and her brother and Grandma's doctor get to try to convince Grandma that it's for the best. The local facility is pretty nice, esspecially for such a small town--tiny apartments with their own bathrooms and kitchenettes, patient's own comfy furniture, lots of social activities, field trips, card games......
* Mom and her brother have started the paperwork to get Medicaid to pay for long-term care.
* Cammie's going to watch the kids Saturday, so I can go see Grandma without all the fuss of chasing them.
