Today - Thursday September 29- was the day that I was supposed to take my mom home from the hospital to live with us and continue her recovery from her THIRD spinal surgery.
But yesterday, a huge backward step- she was hallucinating, sleeping, lost coordination that she had so slowly gained.
So- not going home - yet.
My mom was so frustrated. By the evening, she was much more herself, much better with coordination- they had reduced her medication, taken some meds out, reinstated a stimulant that had been removed.
Still, when dh K came to join me at the hospital, she was convinced he had come to help her escape the hospital.

Lisa, I am so sorry Carol is going through such difficulties with her recovery.
As you might remember, my mom went through 5 of those awful surgeries, way back in the truly medieval days of neurosurgery. She was gone from Kathy and I long time, and never without pain, which of course we shared, that's what children do.
If you ever need to write, or call, I am at your disposal, always.
xxx D.
