Mom is home

BRIEF:  Mom is home and hospice is being brought in.  Before leaving the hospital, the fluid was drained.  She is sore.

Mom was released from the hospital at about 6pm.  Before doing so, the fluid was drained.  The doctor who did the draining was showing it to mom on a TV screen while doing it. There was a lot of fluid around the liver and gall bladder, but there was less around the lung than there had been before.  He also noticed that she has a stone in her gall bladder.

Today her insides are sore from all the activity and she is tired and resting.  Happy to be in her own bed (for the time being).  Hospice had the company they contract with bring out new oxygen tanks and a hospital bed.  I'm hoping she will never have to use it.  It looks like something from circa 1972.  However, it gives her a way to sit up in bed if she is having a lot of trouble breathing.  She also has a wedge for her bed that we can try first.

The hospice nurse will be her at 3pm today to officially admit her.
