I certainly get wanting to leave the hospital as quickly as possible, but making sure you're well first is the key to avoiding a return visit!

Thrive to spite them

Mom is definitely doing rehab. I came to her house to get a shower and check on the cats and get her clean underwear and her phone charger and earbuds.

I tried to make some phone calls but they upgraded the cell towers to 4g and her booster doesn't work any more and my phone doesn't do call over wi fi. Or maybe straight talk doesn't on Verizon towers. I don't know.

I may need a new phone. I don't know how to figure out what to get so I can make calls from here. Not sure texts go through either.

I was looking around for a notepad to help me make lists and plans and found the note she wrote. I am so mad and hurt thatinstead of calling 911 when she was afraid she might die in her sleep she wrote a note. But I'm not going to dwell on it right now and head back to the hospital and make some calls.

I'm sorry, askye. Difficult parents are very difficult. A lot of mom~ma, you take care of yourself too, please.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

askye, I had a minor stroke back in 2006; I called a cab since I get almost all my medical care through one hospital complex but ambulances go to a different one. They kept me for three days, but I bounced back pretty well. It did take me a good six months to get back to almost normal ... or my version of it.

If your mom wants to take a shower, see if you can get a little stool (they make them to use in the shower). It's less enjoyable than taking a shower while standing, but a big improvement over falling. Any kind of therapy she can get, she should. And they had me on ... Zoloft, I think it was, to help my brain heal.

Best wishes for her recovery. And your nerves.
