Big, Big Day

Today is a big, big day. My mom gets released from the hospital today. She'll be transported home via ambulance, and the guys will take her into the house. According to the rehab hospital, she can walk 120 ft with a walker and minimal assistence. That's almost the length of 1/2 a football field. She can also supposedly go up 8 steps with assistence. Pretty good! Yeah, Mom!

I'm going to start looking into ramps for the house, to get her in and out more easily. Apparently there are companies that will come out and install them. We're also thinking about a motion bed.

Meanwhile, the quest for an aide continues. The frustrating thing about it all is that most of the people we've contacted are not calling us back. That doesn't bode well. So, the search continues.
