Today was really memorable. The hospital thought Mom could be sent to a skilled nursing facility for short term rehab. I came with a duffel bag and packed all her belongings. The nursing facility is an adjunct of the hospital, so Mom would have all her doctors.
And I got three hours sleep, because I was so worried about Mom. I knew she wasn't happy at going to the nursing home, and was depressed about losing her mobility. I excused her rude conduct yesterday as an expression of her unhappiness.
Wrongo Bucko. Just as the nurse was prepping her for the transfer, Mom became non responsive. The staff coded her for a stroke, and I had to borrow the desk phone at the nursing station because my cell phone went dead. Anyhow, after bloodwork, a CATscan and a EEG, it was determined that Mom had a small seizure, and is on a mild anti seizure medication. She had been falling asleep in the middle of a sentence, and the Neurologist thinks that's part of the seizure activity.
Looks like the rehab will be put on hold for a couple days.
