The day has arrived and Mom is currently on her way home. What's the over and under on the time before she decides to try and get up and clean something? I give it an hour tops!.
We still have a lot of scheduling to do with nurses and therapists but we remain cautious and happy simultaneously. It's going to be hard for her to relax and we pray that the welcoming change of scenery back into friendly confines will bring her peace.
We spent last night getting ready. Organizing pills and some slight rearranging of furniture to make passage a bit easier. Hopefully she will under stand that these changes were needed and accept them as positive. She has somewhat refused to yield her independence and doesn't always remember her limitations. Our hope is to keep her calm and relaxed and get her in the right mind to ask for help. Although we tell her we want to do these things she refuses to allow us to be "burdened" by her illness. I know that the many visitors we expect will help us bring this message to heart and do wonders for her spirit.
Tonight we will gather at the house and hopefully share a meal together for the first time in a long while. We are not sure what is ahead for us but we will stay the course and make she sure she gets whatever help she needs. I should have all the remaining details on home care later this morning. The Social Worker at the rehab has been great about lining everything up for us and making my life easier than I would have imagined.
So, onward to the next chapter. I will keep this blog active so you know what's going on. I hope to see so many of you soon. Much love always.
