It's the Same!

Hey Man!
Well here it is several months now well exactly two and one half month's and my mom is still in the hospital. She is going from the hospital to the rehab like a couple times each week. She says they even have a cheering section when she arrives and leaves each place. She says they hate to see her leave but sometimes I really wonder about that since she is very demanding. She is demanding of all her meals for sure. Then she does have a bad potty problem. She took more than she should have of these immodium pills. They clog her up but when she is out of them she gets a bad case of the poops. I do mean a bad case of the poops. The bad thing about that is she can't make it to the potty but she says it's not that bad because she wears a large diaper that holds it all in. I think she says that because she can't see it all. There is no way if she has the diarear that it is not running out the sides of the diaper. The mess has to be extremely bad and very very messy. Yikes! She is working on making it to the potty on her own and I know the nurses are really working hard to get her there too. She is a good size woman and it's very easy to see that they want her to hobble or crawl or whatever to get to that toilet to go on her own for a change. If that was me I would try to get her up in the middle of the night to go potty. She justs thinks it's not bad because they don't let her see the mess or she just can't turn her neck around to see the mess she made and probably doesn't really want to see it either. She is probably getting used to feeling that gooky feeling in her diaper. That is awful to say but it seems like that is what's happening. She is really enjoying getting those meals brought to her where before sometimes it was hoping there would be a meal coming. Now she has choices and they are brought to her in clean dishes and cups too. Now that is very special. Her friend Kirk is trying to get some cleaning fluids to get her place cleaned before the housing people see it the way it is now. That was scary when I heard that since it sounded like that has to be saying something is looking pretty bad right now. We will see how this goes.
