Nuked up

Mom had 3 appointments this week with the doctor, so the home health care people have suspended care for now, until something more stable happens. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were all at the knee doctor's for tests; I think about her hip. They put in a nuclear dye on a couple of days (I think because she glowed in the dark all week- just kidding!) and did some special scans, but nothing has been reported back yet. No more word on whether or not the pneumonia actually settled into her knee; it's still a little sore, but not so feverish anymore. She's still waiting for the doctors to release her to go back to Big Spring, and she's anxious to get back.

Having the home health care being suspended means that physical therapy has also been suspended, but she does her exercises her at home, and that helps.

She did fall one time last week in the bathroom, but no damage. Dad was there quickly to help her back up. Just got a little overbalanced; I think it is part of the learning curve that she has to go through about what to do.

We have been having Friday's off during the summer, but that all has stopped now. Dad has been going home on Friday's while someone has been here, but not sure if that will change or not.

They have looked at the Masonic Home in Arlington as an option, but that's the only one they have looked at so far. If anybody has any ideas for places, let me know by commenting to this post. But plans are to move to this area as soon as possible.
