Today she woke up and said she couldn't sleep because her pelvis was hurting again, so she took her "sleeping pills" and she still felt "whoosy." She was referring to the vicodin and she told my FIL that she took a whole one. I thought to myself, Oh boy, she is still taking them.
Right before lunch (at 2pm), she told my FIL that she wanted to go to the doctor. I asked her what was wrong, and she replied that she has a hard time breathing again. I told her that it was probably from not getting enough exercise and how she needed to walk around. She is a good actress and you'd think she was dying. But to my surprise, she got her walker and proceeded to walk around the house with it.
After talking to DH he advised me to ask her if she wanted me to make an appointment, either today or tomorrow, OR if she would rather go to the ER. She said, "No, let me try and walk around first." Great idea!
Only 5 minutes later, she said she was feeling better. But no sooner, we had one problem solved, another one rose. This one came in the form of a bill that she owed while being in Texas, way back in November. Of course she worked herself up into a frenzy again, talking about the fact that if they sued her, she will be counter-suing them. Hopefully by tomorrow or in the next few days she'll have forgotten all about it.
I checked with my social worker just to see what the status was on her nursing home placement. All the paperwork has been submitted. We just have to wait for Medicaid to accept the application and the nursing home to accept her. Please pray for favor and for this to all go through smooth and speedy.
