It has been sometime since I lasted posted. Ever since mom arrived home she has needed 24 hour care. Mom was adamant about sleeping down stairs on the coach and letting her sister Darlene and friend Glinda sleep in the beds upstairs. We tried to convince mom that she needed to be in her bed, but she would not adhere to it.
Mom was not sleeping at night and a week after being home the nurse gave her another medicine that would help alleviate anxiety allow her to sleep better. The first night she took the pill she went to the bathroom and fell. She was yelling from downstairs and her sister Darlene heard her and ran down and then called for me "Lynn mom's daughter".
The next day mom had a huge baseball on her forehead along with black and blue marks around her right eye. She looked like she got in a fight and the other person won. It has been about two weeks and she is still black and blue, but the swelling and color is slowly disappearing. We have been applying ice to reduce the blood flow to the area and hoping the eye will heal soon.
