Today is August 4th 2015 and it is a bitter sweet day for me.
Mom was finally discharged from Rockyview Hospital on July 22nd 2015 - the only instructions that I got were: to keep up her physiotherapy, to schedule her next appointment for her x-ray, and to book her into the Parkinsons clinic at the new hospital on Seton Dr. Her medications are finally under control (there is still talk of decreasing her meds still) but that is down the road.
Mom stayed with me in Calgary as her middle grandson - Pat- was getting married on August 1st 2015 - there were many activities planned for the last week of July that Mom would need to attend.
Her progress has been less than a miracle - mostly due to her strong determination and the Danish blood that seems to show up once in awhile - lesson learnt - DO NOT TICK OFF A DANE - and if you choose not to heed that lesson - DO NOT TICK OFF A DANE WITH A CANE!
Mom has been absolutely wonderful through all of this - and I anticipate, will continue with her progress in Vulcan.
Today - I am taking mom home to the lodge in Vulcan. Her next trip - August 14th to the 17th - wedding in Winnipeg.
THANK YOU to all of you for your prayers, words of comfort, positive thoughts, and the many visits to Mom during her recovery.
