I just got back from hospital a little while ago. Jim was there and Bill left when I did and will go back later. Mom seemed in better spirits today. They had given her a list of exercises she can do alone. She was nauseous though. She is on a new medication that is suppose to help her with the bladder issues. I think they started it yesterday, but are increasing it today. Supposedly one of the side effects is nausea. Bill went to the nurse station to request meds for the nausea and they brought some shortly after. She was looking forward to her afternoon therapy session. She did not go to one session earlier in the day. She is due for 3 hours total each day in 4 sessions of 45 minutes. If she misses them, she has to make them up. She talked to the doctor this morning and they are going to try to keep her off the percocet during the day except for 5 am and at night if she requests it. She is still receiving the neurontin though for the nerves. She was able to read through all her cards today and she enjoyed them very much. We did not go out to the courtyard as she was feeling too nauseous and wanted to lay in the bed. I think Beth and Jeff are due in tonight sometime and Cindy will be here on Friday. Bill goes home Saturday. That is about all the news I have for now.
Love,
Deb
That's good, I am glad to hear she had a better day. What kind of exercises do they have her doing? Thanks for posting this Deb!
