A prayer request (update post #54) new update #59

Thank you all in GREAT MULTITUDES!

Seems the prayers have worked. Just talked to her nurse, and *IF* she does what they say, she will be back to 100% without surgery. She is in mass quantities of pain right now.

She's a tough lady, and won't listen to anyone. I think her thoughts may change now. She said she would go into a rehab facility if they told her she needed to. The first 3 times my dad would tell the hospital he had someone to take care of her, even thou he didn't. Just to get her back home.

Tuesday night around 1:30 she promised she was going to bed as soon as we hung up. She decided she would take some curtains down to box up instead. That's when she fell. We paid for movers to pack everything she owns to move to her future place, but she always has to be doing something.

Right now she lives 127 miles from me. I'm selling her current trailer tomorrow, and we close on her new place 25 miles from me on the 14th. I'll have to look into how I can sign for her at the closing. I have durable power of attorney, but I think that may just me for medical. I'll have to get it out and read it.

For the record I got her a Medical Guardian watch when I was in Ohio right after my dad died in August, but she never wears it. Maybe now she will.

Thanks again!!!!

Tough and stubborn can be useful qualities, but (note to self...) perhaps not always in advanced age :eek: Good luck with all the bureaucratic claptrap involved in the move. It'll certainly be easier on both of you when you are closer :)

Yes it will. I'll be so close, if I have to I'll stay down there every night till she's asleep!

May be stopping by for supper multi times a week also.

If I have to, I'm gonna superglue that med alert thing to her arm.
 
Heavy prayers going up for Kevin and his mom. Rusty if you talk to him let him know he and his mom are in our thoughts and prayers.

Edit to add: Sorry to find this so late. A lot gets past me these days. And this time of year is when we stay busy cutting, splitting, hauling and stacking fire wood so even MORE stuff gets past me.

I'm glad things are going as well as they are. My prayers continue

Talked to her earlier today and she was in most great multitudes of pain. Just talked to her and her nurse and she's feeling much Dilaudid better.

Their thinking she may be able to get out patient therapy, as long as she comes and stays with me.

She's gonna be going nuts not being able to be in her new place.

Talked to the relator dude and he said if she couldn't come to him on the 14th, he'd come to the hospital or where ever she's at to sign the paper work.

Seems like things are gonna be OK as long as she listens to her body and rests when it wants to.
 
When you are in serious pain Dilaudid is a true blessing. Prayers continue for her rapid rehab and patience as I know she is one of those women who are constantly in motion and can't stand being idle.

PS: tell her thanks again for the peanut butter fudge. Ruthie said it is better than her mom's and that is indeed high praise.
 
I am happy to see she is going to be so close to your house as I'm sure that's a comfort for you. I just told Ruthie about this and she is relieved as well. She also said to hang tough and let the rehab nurses do their thing and June will be busting out before you know it.

PS: Ruthie took a bag of your mom's PB fudge to work with her and those that partook want the recipe.

I doubt she actually has one.

My ex tried for over 20 years to make breakfast gravy like mom's and she never came close.

Yes, in quantities of great multitudes!

I just spoke with Kevin. After 20 days in a nursing home in Osceola his mom is now in a rehab hospital 5 miles from his house. He is in her room chatting as I type.

June is doing well and in good spirits as they told her it won't be long before she will be in her new home. The daily 104 mile drive to see her through heavy traffic was nerve racking for Kev.

Kevin is most relieved.
