Mom Update · 1:41am May 23rd, 2016
This'll be a short post, it's been a pretty busy weekend for me. We found out Friday that they're going to release my mom sometime this week, but unfortunately not into a rehabilitation clinic. Apparently she can't go to any because she doesn't have insurance, so they're sending her home.
She's going to be staying with me for a week, but only for a week as my house has steps out the front door and she's in a wheelchair. I'm going to have to help her in and out of my house every time she has to go somewhere, whether it's to a doctors appointment or dialysis. I can't say I'm unhappy with her staying with me for only a week though. Once that week is up, she'll be living in her home once more, and she won't have to be helped outside.
The problem is, her house is a two story town home with her bed and bath upstairs. I've already disallowed her from going up stairs, as she'll have to go up on her butt. I'm afraid that she could hurt her amputated stump, so until the stitches in her leg have been removed, she'll have to remain downstairs or be helped up them.
I've been spending this weekend getting my house cleaned up and capable of handling a woman in a wheelchair/walker. Cleaning my bathroom, the bedroom where my bed is, and even parts of the kitchen. I don't hate cleaning like most people do, but it's not very fun either.
This month is drawing to an end and I can only hope the rest of the year turns out better.
