Diana! I'm so proud of you. You have made a big change and you are doing so well! I know you must be feeling better too! Congratulations!!!

I got mom home today. She did really well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything will go well. She is able to walk very well with the walker and I got extra help at the center. They will help her with dressing and grooming every morning and evening. She doesn't need help dressing, but help getting her clothes and grooming items together. It's hard to do when you have to use a walker. They will stay with her while she is in the shower, she doesn't need help showering, but I think someone needs to be with her, plus she needs help with the dressing and grooming afterward. Someone will also push her in her wheelchair down to the dining room and back. Again, she can push herself, but I know she doesn't want to. We have to pay extra for this help but I don't think it will be permanent as once she can bear full weight on her leg, and a few more weeks of physical therapy, she should be back to walking with only a cane. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well!
