Mom in Hospital

Thursday, mom had her staples removed with no problems. She was still in a lot of pain and the doctor prescribed some pain pills that she has taken before with no problems. Friday, the med nurse called me to say mom seemed to be extremely disoriented, so they were stopping the pain meds in case that was the cause.

When I went over, she had her shorts on upside down and both legs through one opening. Even more worrisome was that she was extremely weak. I got her into bed and told her to stay there. I was thinking maybe she had another UTI and made arrangements to get a urine sample.

The people at the facility were checking on her regularly, but when they went in around 9:30pm they found her on the floor with two new tears on the back of her leg. Back she went to the ER and this time they kept her. She doesn’t have a UTI or anything else wrong that they have found so far, but she is still very weak.

Sunday, a room finally opened up and she has now been officially admitted to the hospital. Today they are planning on doing an MRI. I’ll be heading over there in a bit to see how things are going.
