I'm back in TN...got home very late Wed. night. It was so good to get back to my own bed! The beds in the Rathbun Center (the hospital hospitality house where we stayed) were so hard it was hard to sleep, but they beat those uncomfortable chairs in the hospital rooms! It's going to take me a while to catch up on my sleep. I'll be heading back late next week I think. I'll stop in Knoxville to check out some of the rehab facilities there. My brother and sister live in or close to Knoxville and want to move my mom there for her the second phase of her rehab. It will be closer to me, but I worry that it will be harder for my mom because she won't have all of her church and social friends able to visit her. I guess what really matters is that we find the best facility for her.
I just want to say how much I appreciate all the prayers and good thoughts from all the wonderful people here. You are all still my lifeline!

I am so glad that you are back home. I know caring for an aged parent is so hard on many levels and is exhausting for you. I hope that you will be able to figure out what is best for all involved...Take care...love you...Karen

It's good to hear from you. I'm glad your home safely. I hope you find the best facility for your mother. I know that often those facilities keep them so busy with their rehab that they don't have a lot of extra time for other things, so hopefully she wont miss all that while she is recovering. Keep in touch. Much love. Robin

I'm glad your home. Having worked in a rehab I agree with Robin. Your Mother may be disappointed at first, but hopefully she'll make new friends. Take care,
