I’m Exhausted…

...In more ways than one. So my Mom is still dealing with health issues. I’m too tired to practically write an essay on everything, so here’s a rundown: - She’s still dealing with nausea and loss of appetite. Now, we can add sore and at-times wobbly legs to the list. You can only imagine how nerve-wracking it was to start walking her up and down the stairs again, especially after seeing her fall in April. - We (Mom included) agreed to take her to the ER on Friday. It was decided after midnight that they were keeping her. - She was released yesterday, but was given a walker and recommended at-home physical therapy and to avoid stairs. - She is currently staying at my brother’s since she’ll have most of what she needs on one floor, plus there is more room for her physical therapy (it’s being set up; she hasn’t started yet). I don’t know how long she’ll be staying there, but it's not forever, and it’s a safer option for her right now. - We’re going to be taking her to the gastroenterologist as soon as possible, just waiting to hear back from our primary doctor (we all have the same one) on a referral. Otherwise, she’ll see him next week so they can get it then, but we’re trying to get it sooner so her appointment can be set up. Also, I’ve been misinformed, and the cardiologist doesn’t believe the hiatal hernia is causing the issues. Actually, none of the doctors believe it’s causing her stomach issues. The hernia is going to be eventually taken care of, but right now our focus is on the current problems. So as you can probably guess, I’ve been sort of stressed. We’ve all been stressed. Obviously, we all just want to get past this and have Mom feeling better, so we’re working on having everything addressed and taken care of as soon as possible. *Sigh* It’s been a long three months (as most of this started when she fell back in April). Also, I’m pretty sure a lot of my notifications have expired, but there’s not much I can do about that right now. I’m not sure if I’ll be posting tomorrow because of a longer writing order that needs my attention. With that being said, I’m going to wrap this up, finish this long writing order (it’s due tomorrow evening; I’d rather have it done now) and maybe watch Fear Street with one of my nieces before calling it a night. G’night or good morning. Stay safe and take care, everyone. Photo Credit: Pixabay.
