At 7:30 a.m., Mom was told that she could go home as soon as the paperwork was processed. Well....she got home at 2:50 p.m. She was so aggravated. Last night just wasn't a good night. She had a horrible nurse who basically forgot about her. She couldn't get anyone to help her to the restroom or give her medication in a timely fashion. The nurse "said" that she had given Mom all her meds but Mom told her exactly how many pills she was given and the names and then proceeded to tell her what she was NOT given - her pain medication. The nurse brushed Mom off but then must have realized a few moments later that Mom was correct because she waltzed back in and said, "Oh, you're in luck, the doctor has authorized more meds." The pain medication that she is on does not allow for such frequent consumption, therefore we know that the she "wasn't in luck" but that the nurse messed-up and got caught. This events occurred throughout the night from water to pillows to bathroom help. Let's just say that the staff better be glad that it was Mom in the hospital and not my sister, Leigh, because she would have been throwing things out into the hallway in order to get their attention.
The important thing is that she survived the night and is at home now.
