Evening Health Update

She was doing really well tonight. She asked what she had to do tomorrow and I told her she had to do her physical and occupational therapy and then she got to go to dialysis. She asked, "What if I don't want to?" I asked, "What if you don't want to do dialysis?" She said, "Yes." I told her, "You'll go home on hospice and you'll pass away in one to three weeks." So, she's going to dialysis tomorrow. She asks constantly, "When do I get to go home?" or "Where am I sleeping tonight?" She did well with conversations today. It always makes visits more interesting when she does more than sleep and ask goofy things. Before the night was over she did ask why there was a pig in the family pictures....and then Pinnochio....and then a cow's ear. So...go figure!

I do believe she will be home very soon. The therapists think she's doing well and she wants to get out of there. She's supposed to have a dr's. appointment on Wednesday. Dr. Staples will sign her out in a heartbeat!!! She seriously could be home before the week is over!!!!

She made the comment tonight, that now that she's understanding more about what happened to her, the comments that people are making at dialysis to her are making more sense. Jasmine hasn't called her a trouble-maker lately. Jasmine's the tech that found her unresponsive and brought her back. She actually talked about people at dialysis and usually we mention people by name and she looks at us like she doesn't know who we're talking about. We talked about Fred who usually puts her on and she knew who he was. Maybe the fog is lifting? Some things are starting to stick in her mind. That's a good thing. It's okay if we have to remind her too.
