I just called my dad to get an update on how my mother is doing, and got her instead. She had been home just about an hour at that point - late Friday afternoon. She sounded great and will be doing rehab on her left shoulder to get it back up to strength. It was lovely to talk to her. All in all, she was in hospital three weeks almost to the hour.
She was very impressed at the state of the house when she got back, so I know my dad was doing a fabulous job of keeping on top of everything. I'm so glad I could be there for the traumatic part. Hopefully, I will get to see her on a fleeting visit back home in the next few weeks.
Yay!!
