The last few days have been a lot of the same. Moms been doing a lot of therapy. Shes been in a good amount of pain. The doctors have tried a number of different pain medications, in an effort to find something that relieves the pain but doesn't make her so dizzy she cant do the therapies. Long story short, she is back on the Vicodin. Its the only thing strong enough to help the pain.
I spoke with the social service rep, and Mom gets a day pass on Sunday. This means she gets to come home for 8 hours, bu she is still not discharged. She's so excited to come home. I have mixed feelings. I'm excited for her to come home too, but also scared to see how well, or not well, she does getting around at home. The main purpose of the "day pass" is for me (caregiver) to evaluate how she does, and continue to plan for the real discharge. On a happier note, her sister and niece are going to come down to visit while she's on the "Day Pass". She is always happy to see her sister.
