Memories with Mom: Mom Goes Back to American House.....

It was so great to get her out of the nursing home on Friday. Many people came to say goodbye there, and she left sad because of all the friends she had made. I just pray that she will not have to go back there and is able to settle back to her assistant living arrangement without any more broken bones. Her shoulder is still broken, but she was so excited to leave the nursing home which we called the Hospital. She had no idea where we were taking her but she did not care.

The first thing we did when we got to American House was to get her hair washed and curled. She was very upset on how her hair looked and felt with all that hairspray. When we got there she kept telling me she did not want me to leave her and I had to promise that I would not until she said it was okay. Once she got her hair done, she started feeling better and started remembering where she was. Tom, Kris and I stayed most of the day with her, and she said it was okay to go home. The visiting nurse came to meet her on Saturday, and told us she needed more meds and meds for her to go to the bathroom better without all the cramping. Sunday we had breakfast and went off to sto ee Mom and to take her meds with us. She was in bed with the same clothes she had the day before, and her toilet was all plugged up. We also saw that her forehead had a large scrape on it. I was not too happy when I saw her complaining of the pain in her shoulder and her head.We did not get any phone call regarding her fall, and tears were falling from me while I complained to everyone what is going on , especially when we are paying for the extra services. We will get most of our answers tomorrow and I pray that Mom will not fall any more, and that they will keep her clean, safe, and happy.
