Mom was discharged and moved back to her apartment a couple of days ago (on Tuesday). It already seems like a much better place to be. I was told that she was \u201cbum rushed\u201d by a group of people when she got there \u2013 they were all excited to see her. What a great welcome!<\/p>\n
By the time I got there with her belongings she had already been at Morningside for a couple of hours. She had lunch with her friend across the hall and another lady that she had met prior to leaving. The caregivers were happy to have her back and were all very sweet. Mom was actually looking a little uncertain though. I think she\u2019s nervous about her inability to get around and how much works she\u2019s going to be making for the girls. Once again (for like the millionth time) I explained that it\u2019s their job to help her. Even if she needs help changing the channel on the TV. ANYTHING that she needs, they are HAPPY to help her. I asked her (well, begged, for the million and first time) NOT to try and get up by herself, transfer, walk, etc. That\u2019s what got her into trouble in the first place. I\u2019m not sure that she will do what she says (ask for help, not get up, etc) but there\u2019s nothing that I can do if she won\u2019t listen. I made sure that she understood that if something happened to her, she\u2019ll likely have to move out of this apartment and into Heritage permanently. Some of the therapists there were great and she had one CNA that was the absolute best but that place would not be my preferred home of choice. She has a choice. Morningside is brighter, people are out and about, tons of activities, and much more lively place. I\u2019m hoping that by socializing with the other ladies there she can get out of her funk and start enjoying life again.<\/p>\n
Cyndie will be here tomorrow and will be staying with her in the apartment. They have some wedding plans to discuss. Keeping my fingers crossed that she\u2019ll have a great weekend.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
