I decided to limit myself to no more than 1-1.5 hours of visiting. I just can't be doing all that running back and forth even with the hospital she is in only 9 miles away. It is a bit of a respite and I am battling my guilt for leaving her there on her own and taking time for myself. I know, my problem. She hasn't been too bad about it this time.
Her case manager told us today that the acute care facility won't take her unless she has a minimum of 3 hours of physical therapy....PER DAY! Excuse me? I couldn't withstand 3 hours of PT per day. She certainly can't! Plus, they don't feel PT will actually help her condition much. She has neuropathy in her legs and severe arthritis in her left knee. They stopped giving her Vicodin because it was what caused all those hallucinations! Go figure!
