The doctor gave the OK to send Mom home yesterday, and so she’s back with Dad. (more…)

Yaayyy, Mom is feeling so much better. After a couple of scares, she’s now well on the road to full recovery. (more…)

Mom’s surgery went well, the doctor says, on the four hernias (two large and two small) she had. (more…)

Poor Mom was taken to hospital for the third time last Saturday evening (second time was in the wee hours of July 22). (more…)

Great news: Mom’s surgery has been scheduled for late August. That’s still a month of pain for her to get through – hopefully manageable with some pain medication – but at least a date has been set. Now the challenge is for her to eat enough now to have reserves when she’s recuperating but not so much that it worsens her condition in the meantime. A delicate balancing act!

For reasons unexplained, the hospital discharged her last night at 11:30PM without completing the surgery. No one is particularly happy as we expect that as soon as the drugs wear off, she’ll be back to her earlier situation of not being able to eat, or move around at all, not to mention the pain — they didn’t even prescribe some pain killers! All that to say that the staff at the residence may be calling an ambulance again soon.
