I’m not sure if I should have just stayed in Kansas or if there was some reason I had to go home to get a “call-back” to “come-back” Here I am again and mom has another major UTI. (Remember – that’s Urinary Track Infection) The new word in my medical vocabulary and I wish I wasn’t getting all of this first hand information on how serious it is. This one started last Friday and she has been on antibiotics since Saturday but she is still very confused and doesn’t really understand where she is and where all of the the furniture has come from is a big concern. I think she wants to rearrange it in hopes that it will clarify where she is. She wants to know how long she will be here but now we are talking about what’s happening to her. During the weekend she was telling people I was in the hospital – she often thinks she is in the hospital. Part of this is probably still a reaction from the whole transition of moving to Garden Villas. I’m told the adjustment usually takes about 6 months. The next two days will determine if she is going to come out of it or if this is going to be the new version of what she is trying so hard to call her “life”. It’s such a relief and to hear how much she likes everyone working here and looking after her.
