Finally able to post!

Well, I can finally get on to post! It has been a few days and Mom is doing somewhat better today. On Monday she was still in so much pain and was so nauseated that she was not eating anything but by Tuesday the pain meds had kicked in and she was able to eat a bit. Then it was decided that we should have a planning meeting which happened today and now we know that Mom will be in hospital until the doctor and we are satisfied that she will do well at home. Then we went on from there to more long-term planning. The doctor was really pleased with how quickly Mom bounced back from her day on Sunday.
She now has a pain pump which releases a steadier dose of medication, more of her meds will be in liquid form because she has always had a tough time swallowing pills.
On the home front, the washing machine has packed it in and Tuesday was a very interesting day - circumstances made it such that I washed the floor under the washer and also cleaned the basement fridge after a can of pop burst.
Wanda is coming back next week and the doctor indicated that is likely when the home care and everything will be set up for Mom to come home.
