Time Will Tell

So Mom is in a rehab facility. They had her up for PT this morning and it caused her blood pressure to drop, she turned white and nearly fainted.  They put her back on bedrest and will try again tomorrow.  

I tried asking her about it, she said her leg was "stiff".  Yesterday she was able to use her walker from the bed to the bathroom. Today it was difficult to stand, walking was out of the question. 

I don't know what all of this means for her health. Its one of those niggling worries.

Time will tell.

Oh Snap ....

 ....  no hotties for me today!!

Mom has 3 fractured ribs, and in pain when she tries to get out of bed or a chair.  The hospital is helping us find a rehab facility so she can get stronger. 

Until all the i's are dotted, the t's crossed, she will be in the hospital another night.

My hope is that she realizes this is for her own good, to help her gain her strength. I'm sure that deep down there's disappointment that I didn't volunteer to be her caregiver 24/7 but I couldn't lift her yesterday when she fell, I wouldn't be able to lift her any other time either. 

I know she wants to be home.

I would too.
