Betsi...Mom had a rough night. The hospital Dr. ordered Mom some aspirin since she can't take a blood thinner for her heart. Well....at 11:00 last night she messed the bed up big time with loose bloody stools and again at 3:00 AM. Mom was so upset, but we know the bleed is from the aspirin. They were not suppose to give it to her and they knew it. I was not happy!
Most likely, Mom will be released Tuesday or Wednesday and will go straight to rehab. I put my foot down and told her I let her have her way every time and every time she ended up back in the hospital....this time...we were doing things my way. My brothers back me so she doesn't have a choice.

I'm so sorry Janet, that must be really rough on your mom. The problem is she's in a Catch 22 (you are damed if you take the aspirin and may be damed if you don't) - her heart problems can cause blood clots which can go to the brain and cause a stroke or they can go to the lungs and may cause instant death. So, that is why the hospital doc ordered aspirin. On the other hand, the aspirin caused intestional bleeding which is not good, but not as bad as another stroke or lung blood clot. It's a real dilemma!
I'm so glad she's going to rehab - that's exactly where she needs to be!!!

I am sorry to hear your mom had a bad night,but i guess Gayle explained it good.
Also glad to hear she will be going to rehab, she will get good care there and someone will be with her 24/7 which she needs. Tried calling you but you were probably busy which is ok, just calling to check up on you.

Sending positive energy to your mom for a speedy recovery and you as well .
I agree with Gayle and wouldn't be too upset, I would prefer the bed accident than a heart attack or stroke. I'm sure that beneath your moms grudge in going to rehab she is happy you are making the right decisions for her. |
