No, I'm not ignoring the site. A LOT has happened, and I only know half of it....
The half of it: Mom spent five days and four nights in a respite care facility. They limited her meds a great deal (exactly the opposite of what we were expecting, and they seemed to have issues following Hospice's directions with this, as Hospice leans toward more medicine). She hated it there, which turns out to be a good thing. It spurred her on. She wants to get better now. She said she wants to see Kendall graduate college. Kendall is two years old now. Her voice is gone, but her legs are healing (they were cracking and bleeding from all the walking). Mom came home yesterday morning and is currently settled in a clean hospital bed in the dining room, away from the dogs.
What I don't know/understand fully: Brother spent a lot of time with this yesterday. Social worker (who did absolutely NOTHING to help me with the mediCAL paperwork...she hasn't actually worked with me on anything and I have no evidence she works at all) decided that Mom is clear-headed enough to administer her own medication, so the lock boxes are left unlocked. I am to count the pills daily to make sure how many she has taken, but since her medication list changed and makes little sense to me, I'm not sure what good that does. A lot of decisions were made that affect me and I was not involved in the discussions or decision-making, so I'm very frustrated with that at the moment. I don't know what else is going on. I will update when people start telling me what's happening. It'd be be awfully nice to know.
Good to know something might be happening. Everyone is in my thoughts. Mom will be out there next week; you know she'll yell and bitch till someone spills the beans. She's good like that.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for her to come out! It'll be good to see her. All the animosity...I don't care who it as as long as it stops. Though, it would be funny as hell to see your mama smack someone in the face....
