I didn't want to use the phrase "final" and folks think the worse. After 5 weeks in the ICU and a week in rehab mom is home. Last night was my parents 47th wedding anniversary and they just watched the Cardinals play and were thankful! It was a good "date" night. I can't argue with that. Little things like routine mater ..... and they've been watching the Cardinals play since I was a fetus.
Long story short the other day my mom said she was stick of being in the rehab center. Get her home. So my dad did.
My favorite line, the rehab place said she can't walk stairs. My dad said we have an elevator she can use. True. I'd love to see the look on that doctor's face :).
I have said I thought my mom was going to die in taht hospital. When I would talk to her the spunk was out of her voice. She would say things I'd never think mother would say.
I talked to mom yesterday and I always brace myself, she is my mom. Often in my face. Verbal. Mom was there.
For the first time she "sounded" like mom. Strong. I told her that. You go mom .....
