Mom kinda walked today! The physical therapist helped her shuffle in a little circle. Isn't that crazy? Goooo Mom!!!! She ate a good breakfast, lunch and dinner with only a little bribing lol. She is certainly a stubborn one.
At one point today she was pretty adamant that her name was Pamela Waldrop and Pamela Whatley. Either of those names sound familiar to any of you? Oh, and she said my name was Terri Waldrop at one point too. Let me know if that rings any bells. After a while she was saying her name and mine with no problem whenever I would pop quiz her. :) She also got the spa treatment by me complete with hair washing (a rinse free shampoo that works GREAT) and slathered lotion after the nurses gave her a bath. She loved it at first and then comedically said, "you bout done or what"? lol
On to the bad news.....Willis Knighton did NOT accept her....they denied her. Sigh. Therefore, we put in for another place called Promise in which we have heard good thinks about. So now, they have 24 hours to come and evaluate her and then 24 hours after evaluation to make a decision with their board. Double Sigh. Now, I know what you are thinking...why not put in for a few places all at the same time to save time. As of January 1 medicare will only allow you to put in for one at a time. Meanwhile she isn't getting what she needs and we wait. So, hopefully Promise will accept her or let us know promptly so we can find a place that will. ugh.
Johnny really got into her mind this evening...with helping with her short term memory by asking over and over who she, he and ALL family members were over and over. He also worked with her exercising her arms and legs. We are trying to do something while she is missing out on rehab. Can't hurt.
