Caregivers
My mom had a knee replacement last Tuesday. The hospital sent her to a "rehabilitation center" on Thursday.
Well last night I got the call that mom was crying and the "rehab center" was neglecting her.
I went into full on bull mode (not pretty). I called mom's doctor on her cell phone and told her that I was coming up there today and taking mom back to the hospital. Well the "rehab center" was really a nursing home and it was gross. I took mom back to the hospital but after 5 hours in the ER they would not admit her. So I brought her home to my house.
Tomorrow we will begin again with a doctors appointment and try to get her into a real rehab center.
Sometimes the health care system can be a challenge.
I have to take off work but hey she is my mom.
