Last night I stayed in Mom's room as her post-surgery mindset was a little agitated. She talked through the night, had dreams she was falling, and cried out in pain several times. Her hip bothered her but not nearly as much as before they fixed it. Her arm is what I think is now giving her the most pain. She is down to using extra strength Tylenol for pain, so hopefully tomorrow the anesthesia drugs will have worn off and she will be back to life. It is tough to listen to some of the things she is dreaming about.
Pat will take the night shift - the two of us are pretty tired. But at least it is a slow time of year for me at work and I do not have anything else pressing in my days. We go home and take naps to keep going. My prayer is that over the next week' Mom will improve enough to get into rehab before the first of the year.
Keep her in your thoughts!
Love to all...
