My brother Peter was with Mum and we had a catch up. Mum had been showered and was feeling really weary as the day wore on. The occupational therapist arrived and then the physiotherapist came and had mum walk up the corridor to test her oxygen levels. They dropped while exercising and bounced up fairly quickly once she rested( all while using oxygen) but that was enough to wear her out and she slept quite deeply in stints of half hours. Mum didn't eat much and certainly wasn't drinking much either. All this assessment is about how she and I would manage if and when she returns home. I still have a concern about being up every couple of hours at night though if I can rest during the day I can probably manage it.
I am recovering here at Tracey and Johns place with good nights sleep. I am tired still and a massage would be welcome. I was going to walk to the hospital today but I feel like I have let it get too late. It will take an hour at least and I want to be there about 10. Yesterday I left about 4:30 and returned with John and Tracey. Mum was rather disoriented because she had slept soundly and thought she had slept all day!
