mom had surgery
1st, i want to thank everyone for all the awesome support! you all are the best and it really means a lot! it's so hard on me and the stress is really high. your friendship, support, and prayers has been the most awesome thing in the world right now. and just so you know, my mom really really apreciates it all, too. she said y'all are the best!
she had surgery on her leg yesterday (Thursday) and it went well. no complications. i took her to the hospital at 6:30 am and they had me pick her up a little after 5 in the evening THE SAME DAY. wow.... surgery is so advanced these days. they just send you home the same day! she had pins, screws and a plate put her leg. it's bandaged up really thick with out a cast. not sure what the deal is with that. are they gonna cast it later maybe after the stitches are out?
we are still waiting on in-home care to come thru. waiting for the aproval from medicare. she already has a case manager asigned to her medical case, who will be coming out to the house to check the house and see if it's safe enough for her to get around in. if it's not safe enough, i'm not sure if that means they will take her to a home for rehab? not sure.
she had a talk with my bro about his shitty attitude. at 1st he fought back. but she continued to talk to him and he agreed to "try" -and he emphasized TRY- to be nicer to her and do more for her. well i wasn't too pleased about it, but it's a start. mom wanted to deal with him and not have me talk to him. so i let it be (for now).
i went and rented her a pile of funny movies. hopeflully this will help keep her mind her off her leg pain. humor is healing stuff anyways. lol. well.... thanks again everyone and take care! God bless all of you! seriously.....
