Today when I went to visit mom she was still in a lot of pain. Her X-RAY results turn out to be good the doctor mentioned that all bones looked great. Dr. Irvin did have to increase her pain medication due to lower back pain.
They had a rehabilitation room come available that mom moved into this afternoon 4109. She does have a room mate in this room. In the rehab center mom will be doing 3 hours a day of physical therapy and then OT and speech therapy will visit as well. They will also help her learn how to get dress, put on make-up and do daily activities all over again. The communication with her muscles and nervous have to be retained in her legs and arms. The other thing is that she she will receive her IV antibiotics as well.
I think mom is excited yet nervous this is a big step. They mentioned that she should expect to be in the Rehabilitation center for 3 weeks.
Merry Christmas
