treeskinSis finally talked to Mom. The news is:
* Grandma should not have been sent home after her ER visit yesterday.
* Her doc wasn't called about it, didn't know about it until Mom and Grandma went in this morning, and is furious. This is the second time that ER doc has pulled this crap when Grandma came through the ER, and .....yeah. totally not professional, not safe, and not cool.
* Still waiting to hear back on xrays of Grandma's left ankle, which is swollen and bruised. They suspect it's broken, but the xrays from the ER went walkabout, so they had to do that over.
* Grandma went back in today because her serum glucose was back down to 70, and she was confused, sleepy, and unwilling to eat. She'll be in until they get her regulated again.
* Her doc says that, if they get her regulated and her ankle's not broken, she could go back to her apartment. But the opinion of the family is that once she's regulated and feeling better, she'll stop taking her meds and following her diet because she feels good and doesn't need it anymore, and we'll be at this same place (or worse) in a month or two.
* Mom and her brother visited the local nursing home and talked about options. Don't know much about that yet.
