Just for tests, not a medical emergency. Her doctor wants her to have some
tests.

I thank you all for your well wishes while I've helped take care of her.
She asked me what I was going to have for dinner. I haven't even thought
about dinner. She was teasing me, "You're allowed to have anything in the
refrigerator you'd like." Great, considering I shopped for and cooked all
of it. LOL

I'll know more tomorrow.

I hope that your Mother's tests all come out without any surprises. You
do not need any more heartaches.

Hugs and good wishes to you and your Mother, Margaret

Too many people in the hospital around here.

Best wishes to get well soon.

What kind of tests?

I think you should give yourself a treat and go out to eat.

The doctor is concerned she may have had some "pinprick" strokes. This
could explain her cognitive difficulties as well as more trouble walking
lately. They're going to do a brain scan (whatever you call that thing) and
whatever other tests are needed to try to figure things out.

> I think you should give yourself a treat and go out to eat.

Yeah, maybe I'll stop somewhere for lunch tomorrow on my way back from the
hospital. She just called; they finally got her into a room. It took hours
and hours for them to get her out of the ER and into a bed. It's a good
hospital, though. I was there myself not so long ago.

Thanks for asking.

Uh, those are two separate things. And there are also head
ultrasounds. Could be any one of those 3 things.

Uh, that's why I used the word "or". Uhhhh.

Do I need one of either of those if I say "uhhh" to often?

Right! I think it's a CT they're going to do but who the hell can keep up
with medical terms with everything that's been going on? They did chest
x-rays and an EKG, did their best to draw blood for lab work. I felt sorry
for the phlebotomist, her veins are so tiny it's hard for them to draw
blood.

At any rate, her cognition has declined greatly in just the three weeks
since the doctor was out last to see her. (Thank Bast I found a doctor who
makes house calls!) It took 9 hours for them to actually get her to a room
in the hospital rather than stuck in a bed in the ER. I hope she'll be
coming home again. At this point I simply don't know.

I hope so too, Cathy. I think it's everyone's wish to be able to die at
home at peace in their own bed. And that's where she's headed. It's just a
matter of time.
