Yes...I'm so sorry. I came home on Thursday and Mom is with us. She did not want to go back to the nursing home. She was only there for 4 days, but didn't sleep a night. So...we have all her things here. She has slept both nights really well and eating better too. Mom has to use a walker because she is still weak and wobbley. She's getting better at handling it.
It's been easier for me to hook her up at night too...she can no longer do it herself until her strength is built back up. The home nurse came Friday and did a thorough visit. The physical therapist is coming next week. So far...just a couple days...it's been easier on me and I'm sleeping better. She still wants to go home and as soon as the weather is good and the sidewalks clear...I will take her home to visit her house. She misses it terribly, but knows she can't live alone. I will do my best for her and she knows it, but when it gets to be too much then she knows what will need to be done. I've made it very clear without making it a threat. I love my Mom and I've really enjoyed growing closer to her.

Janet I'm so glad your Mom is with you. I know how hard this is for her and for you as well. I think about you often and I say a little prayer for you and your Mom. I know how much you love her. I'm sure you remember the last several months that my Dad was with us, we stayed the whole time with him and Mom.
I hope that your Mom gets stronger soon and is able to at least go and visit her house. But for now, she is so much better off being there with you.

Janet, I just got a chance to get online to check on you. My wireless router croaked and I couldn't get to town for another one because of the weather.
I'm glad your mom is with you and you are both comfortable. I begged to bring my mom home with me after her stroke, but she needed medical care that I just couldn't supply. So I spent LOTS of time at the nursing home every day. I know it's a crazy, stressful time for you. Just hang in there! Love ya

Janet, I know it is so much easier with your mom at your house. I'm glad she is there. You ask for help though, when you need it. Don't try to do everything yourself!

This sounds like a good thing, Janet. You are both sleeping better, so it must be so much less stressful. It sounds like the perfect solution for right now. You both need to be together because love makes everything better.
