Mom
Mom was supposed to come home yesterday from physical rehab. On Tuesday, when I went to visit, her leg with the ulcerations was unbandaged and I got a good look. I thought it didn't look healthy and wondered how long before we'd be right back where we were. Turns out the doctor there shared my opinion after he took a look and then ordered a culture of the leg. It's infected. So, he prescribed a course of antibiotics for mom and felt she needed to stay at rehab until she'd finished the course and a new culture was taken. That all seems reasonable. The unreasonable part was that my mom wasn't going to tell me that she wasn't being discharged and she was going to leave against doctor's orders because she wants to go home, even though she knew that would mean she'd probably be back in the hospital again in a week or two and spend probably another 6 weeks in rehab.
