[IL-Talk] Mom back in the hospital

[Leslie Hamric]

Hi everyone. I wanted to let you know that My mom is back in the hospital for a second time. She had back surgery, went to rehab, came home from rehab on Sunday, and in the time I've been with her she has fallen three times in two days. it is clear that she is not safe at home, especially home alone. And the kind of care she needs a lot more than I had anticipated. The third time she fell was last night. It happened about 12:15 AM. I was just about to fall asleep and I heard this boom. I figured it would be best to call 911 since this is the third time she has fallen. She's in the hospital now. I'm doing stuff at her place like her laundry so she could have clothes to wear. I was up all night last night with her at the ER. Her pain level has been pretty high. I don't knoHer pain level has been pretty high. I don't know why we have sent her home with the pain level that she was in. Anyway, it's a tough and overwhelming time for me.
