Dad and I stopped by Tuality to see Mom this morning, not knowing what to expect as far as her condition or her prospects for discharge. Fortunately the former was good--she was not injured seriously by either fall and she was in pretty good spirits, all things considered--but unfortunately, they would not let her out today, and in fact are recommending that she return to Maryville for a two week stay.
This came as a shock to Mom and she is understandably upset, but we recognize the need for more rehabilitation. However, two weeks is more than she can stand (especially since "two weeks" in Maryville terms is well over a month), so we have offered the compromise of one week at Maryville, then a transfer home with in-home staff ready and waiting.
So now begins the process of finding and interviewing home care personnel. We got a pretty decent list from Tuality and I'm going to go through and try to whittle the list down to something more manageable. In the meantime, Mom is still at Tuality, room 504 for tonight at the very least, so if you'd like to stop by and visit, please do; I know she would appreciate the company.
