Mom needs that side rail

Looks like I will be over sooner than I was planing to be. Mom needs that side rail so I will be getting her one one way or another if I can.

Medication & MRI reading planned

Time to refill medications.

We will be going for the MRI reading next week. That should be interesting as they were not able to do the MRI.Mom would not sit still for it. Still I hope they can tell us some thing, otherwise why are they wanting us to keep the appointment.

Where does all the time go

I left on vacation for a week and did not want to pay roaming charges so I waited to answer most of the calls when I got back. I believe I mentioned mom had to go back to the care takers because of the mess still at her house.

Right away upon returning the Dr. had scheduled the MRI for mom. I did not have time to make it over on such short notice so my brother's dear wife helped out and save the day. Thank You C!!!

Then I had her appointment with Dr. Hoekstra on the 19, her regular Dr. He said I lot I wanted to hear. Like she does not need to go back and see the nerve Dr. who I think caused her stroke May 1. While she should get her other cataract done. and Go back to see the dentist. So I took car of all that.

I also put an arrangement on dad's grave. Red, white and blue with a flag. This all cause me to be late getting back that day and need to be at the Boy Scout Camp so that was phone call drive, where do I turn?

We did take the hospital bed over to mom's care takers last Saturday. yet we are missing one side rail. Now mom needs her medications refilled as well. So maybe I should go over before next time I plan to do yard work I am not sure.

More appointments coming up soon. I try to update this as they are nearing and pass.

I am not looking forward to the 10th. I cry when I think about it.

We had to Change Plans

When mom's care taker saw mom and dad's house she said we would have to go with her home, as mom and dads is still to messy, dirty and filled. So until we can get it cleaned up they will have to stay at her home rather than mom and dad's. I still would like to get them there.

When I moved mom from the nursing home she wanted to go to the farm. I hope being around her stuff will make her more comfortable since it is not at the farm. I think they will have more room when we can get them moved. She did not have me upset that she was calling me a liar. She wanted to come home with me because as she said I have a big table. While I can expand my table for an extra place setting I think what she is recalling is when we borrowed tables for Thanksgiving the couple of times we have hosted the dinner. I tried to tell her repeatedly I do not have a room for her in our 2 bedroom home. She told be I do have room in our big home. So I think she recalled where we lived for 17.5 years having moved in early May of 2006. Not where we are now. I do not have a bed she would be safe in or any privacy for her. She insist I do.

I did meet with the home health nurse yesterday. Things went well, they do not expect for mom to have help for long. I have not heard back from my sister in law about how the Dr. appointment went. I have heard she has a torn rotator cuff and needs a MRI. I wonder where and when.

This is likely my last post for several days. I will write when I am able to.

Lawn done, Dr. today

We got the lawn mowed yesterday at mom and dads place. Appointments today with the bone Dr. who did the surgery originally, and the nurse from a home heath care service. I wish I had called the insurance company before I set this up. Well I guess you live and learn. More later...
