Mom Coming Home
Mom is coming home on Tuesday 8/26. The insurance company decided she has been in rehab long enough. Mom is going to love it. She has never been away from home this long in her life(6 1/2 weeks). Every day she wants to go home. She just says "Let's get our stuff and go." She cries at night and calls my name. She will be so much more comfortable in her familiar surroundings.
Panic is starting to set in on my part. I think I have everything in place. Her new wheelchair is supposed to be at the rehab tomorrow. I have her walker, a 3-in-1 commode, and extended shower bench. Mom was always a hoarder and clutterer, so I had to clean out a lot of stuff so it is safe for her. I just can't get rid of too much because I want her to see familiar things.
I am panicking about some things like, do I have enough of the foods she needs on hand, what is she going to sleep in, when can I get out to the store or bank again. The rehab doesn't have her new medications called in to the pharmacy yet.
I know it will all work out. I just want it to be as glitch-free as possible for Mom.
