Another Weekend, Another Trip to the Emergency Room
I can't even think....I feel so spacy and tired. Yesterday morning I spoke to my Mom's homecare worker and she was really concerned because my Mom didn't seem herself. Ernie and I went over for lunch and I knew exactly what she meant. Oh there's more to it all but I can't really remember it....suffice to stay that Sara, Ernie and I have been waiting for the shoe to drop. Her behavior was getting odder and it just wasn't her. We knew it meant some kind of infection was kicking in.
I didn't get a call last night and when it was already 8:30 this morning I thought maybe we'd skated free. No such luck, Sara called a few minutes later, we talked it over and I said, "call the ambulance and I'll be over." Before I could even leave the house she called back and said the paramedics were there and my mother was refusing to go. I got on the phone with one of them and they said she was answering all their questions correctly so they couldn't take her. They said they'd call the doctor and give them her symptoms..... Ernie and I raced over there and once I was there Mom BEGRUDGINGLY agreed to go to the emergency room. God love her.....as they rolled her to the door on her stretcher she said, "Now I know why criminals confess to crimes they didn't commit."
More later.
