Evening Update

Hello!

She had a good day at dialysis. Only one strange thing. Her weight when she got there was supposedly 70.4 kg. and when she left....74.9 kg. What's up with that? I think someone doesn't know how much their gurney weighs!!!!

Anyway. Shortly after returning to RHSNC, her dinner arrived. Yes, the lady with CHF gets..... smoked sausage for dinner. At least they gave her steamed cabbage instead of saurkraut!!!! They also served wheat bread and chocolate chip cookies!!! Her charge nurse was there giving her medication, so she took the bread and cookies and exchanged them for white bread and applesauce.

Mom just about licked her plate clean!!!

She constantly asks, "When am I going home?" When talking to a nurse earlier in the day I did see that the orders are there. I was expecting a letter from the social workers to be on her tray when we got back...but there wasn't one!!!! The social workers will meet with us before they release her to make sure things are ready for her at home. At least that's how it's been when Hi's been there. So....we're waiting....Mom's impatient though! Maybe tomorrow!

So, it was a good day.
