This is going to be short. There is pretty much no reason to write about this day. I spent most of it in bed. I talked to my mom on the phone and she said that she was doing well and that the doctor was still trying to decide when she would be discharged to the rehabilitation center.
I was very frustrated because I was never really told how my mom was doing after the surgery last week. So I spoke to her nurse. She said that her leg was still healing without any problems, and the recovery from the kidney and gall bladder operation was going well. I asked her if she knew when my mom would be moved to the rehabilitation facility. She said she didnt know...it could be as early as tomorrow or sometime later in the week. Ugh. More I don't knows. I asked her about what kind of treatment she would get there, if someone would be changing her dressing and giving her meds. She said she would get those things at the facility. I also asked her about what would happen with changing her dressing when she came home. The nurse said she couldn't really tell me; that would be up to the doctor (her idiotic primary care physician) to evaluate that. She said my mom may have to return to the center to get her bandages changed. I don't think I could do that! The incision is really deep and long down to one of the muscles in her leg. I shiver and feel nauseous just thinking about it.
