more news on Grandma
Nov. 30th, 2011 11:19 amAccording to Sis, Grandma spent yesterday doing her best to show everyone that she could take care of herself. Got herself up and showered and dressed without help, did her own shots, did her exercises, even walked without her walker or cane.
SO......
Doc decided that if she keeps it up today, he doesn't have a choice and *has* to send her home.
Dammit.
But, Doc told Grandma that if her home health nurse reports her skipping her insulin or meds even once, she's going to the nursing home.
Mom is thrilled, that Doc's taking the heat for it. And Uncle M came up and had some long talks with Grandma and Mom yesterday. Mom was a little confused about that last, until Sis confessed that she "might have called Uncle M, and might have said some things she thought he needed to hear". And that made Mom feel good, that Sis stood up for her.
So, we're back to waiting and worrying. Uncle M will be back in town tomorrow to fetch Grandma home from the hospital (because Mom volunteered him, in front of other people, so he had to say yes).
