Hospital

Monday, February 19, 2018
I got a call this morning that mom was being sent to the hospital.  She woke up this morning and couldn't get out of bed.  They wanted to send her for x-rays.  I called the hospital and they asked me to come.  I didn't really want to since I knew she was fine, but I relented.
Mom was happy to see me.  She seemed anxious.  She was cold and wet.  I guess they kept trying to put a cold compress on her knee and she kept taking it off.  The nurse came by and wanted to know if mom could stand.  I was going to take her to the washroom so it was a good test.  Mom complained that her leg hurt, but we made it to the toilet and she took a poop and a pee.  I had the nurse wipe her bum.  The doctor came by and said that mom had some swelling, but that there wasn't anything broken and that she would be fine in a week. 
A nurse came to tell us that a hospital transport vehicle was coming to get mom between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m.  They offered mom a meal.  I chose a sandwich because it was the easiest to eat.  Mom shared with me.  It was starved.  We got moved to another station.  The transport person came around 7:35.  He said that I should wrap sheets around mom because it was cold outside. 
Mom was anxious, but she calmed down.  It was a good thing I was there.
I had the transport person wheel mom to her room because I wanted to take mom for a pee.
I combed mom's hair because it was really matted.  They had saved mom's dinner so we ate it.
Then I took mom to the evening sing-a-long.  Donna was happy to see mom and mom was relieved to be back home again.  A Chinese lady insisted on seeing mom.  I wheeled her to the sing-a-long and she was happy to see mom.  Then I wheeled her back to her place in the hallway.
