Rehab
My gran was moved to Loretto on Wednesday for rehab. She didn't want to go but her dr told her that she had no choice. She couldn't go home yet. She is hoping that she isn't going to be there very long. She just needs to get her strength up so that she can walk again. This whole ordeal has really thrown her for a loop.
Ironically she is one floor below my husband's grandpa. It's nice to be able to see them both at once. I'm not too sure if I like the place though. My gram went down to rehab the other day and when they brought her back upstairs they left her in the hallway for almost an hour! The nurses just kept walking by and saying "we'll be back in a minute". I would hate to be dying and waiting for one of them to help me! When my uncle arrived he found her sitting by the elevator in tears from the pain because she needed to get back into bed. Needless to say he raised hell. Feel sorry for the ones that he got ahold of. I would've done the same thing had I found her like that.
She is feeling a little bit better. She has the nastiest bruise that I have ever seen on her groin. It is starting to heal. I am hoping that the blood clot that they discovered on her incision site has broken up. She was in a tremendous amount of pain from that. She was also given the results of some other tests she had done and she has 2 cysts - one on her kidney and the other in that area. She also has a very thick uterus which is not normal for a 77 yr old woman. The dr said that in most cases like this it could be cancer. Great!!! Just what we need to deal with now. My gram doesn't deserve any of this.
Please continue to keep her in your prayers. Looks like she is still going to need them....Labels: family
