Recovery

My mother has been on the upswing all week. In fact, she's up almost 20 pounds from her low about a month ago! She is in excellent spirits, and has been walking downtown every day. The visiting nurses really hate that, as they are concerned she is going to fall. No stopping her, though, and I think she would not be doing as well if she felt confined to the apartment.

The hospice nurse came today to do an evaluation. She is doing so well that she does not qualify for hospice services at this time. They are putting her in an intermediate category and maintaining a file on her. We are looking forward to working with hospice, as they will come to the house to address most of her needs.
