The Superglue thing was done as day-surgery. She was brought back to the nursing home for recovery, and of course rehab, which will take a few weeks. The Nursing Home already has her walking. (I’m sure it’s with a walker, but one has to start SOMEWHERE!)
She has a long way to go. I will call her in a while. I know about nursing homes from having been a Recreation Therapist for many years. It will be hard to catch her, because they will want her to eat in the Dining Room, Do PT and OT, attend activities, and keep moving.
I tried calling her this morning, but there was no answer, as early as 8:30AM. Knowing my mom, she was probably attending Sunday Mass, either live with a local priest, or on TV in the Rec. Room. That’s what I used to do as part of “Recreation”. People’s Religion is very important to them, and I made sure there was a full schedule to accommodate everybody’s religious needs. I even would do an entire Passover Seder, with Musical accompaniment, two nights in a row for my Jewish Patients.
I never had a Muslim patient. I really DON’T know WHAT I would do to accommodate THEM. };-)
Thanks Kathy!

I have prayed for your friend, Teresa, every day since I first heard of her illness last week. As I was praying last night, I could almost hear the words to this song:

“Come Home, Come Home.....Ye who are weary, Come Home...”
I pray for healing, if it is His will. If not, I pray for Teresa to gently arrive “Home”.
More prayers up for her.

I have a suggestion but I'll keep it to myself! (No, it isn't what some would think! lol)
It is nice to have FR to bring us and others together or we would have never met eachother! :-) *hugs*

You are most welcome Dear FRiend.
I tried to reach Mom all day at the nursing home to no avail. Now I found out that she spent the day in the ER.
Because it took so long to get the blood thinner out of her system before the procedure, that she was on MORPHINE for 5 days! So she went into a PSYCHOSIS.
A male Nurse’s Aide, who knew my Mom from when she was visiting Dad, KNEW that her confusion and disorientation was NOT my MOM! So he reported it, and they rushed her to the ER.
So now, my dear Mom is in the Hospital going through withdrawal. (sigh)
Please keep the prayers going.
A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and Barb...((HUGS))
