I am so tired I can hardly move; my back and neck hurts, my feet are sore. I spent the day cleaning carpets--the living room and two staircases. Did laundry and made chicken soup too. Then. . .
I collapsed on the sofa and called my mother just now and she sounds better, her lungs are clear but she is still very weak. She never asked when she could go home. She did ask where my aunt went off to.
I gently reminded her she died over a year ago...she asked about her other brothers and sisters and I reminded her they are all gone also. She said, "then I don't have to worry about them, do I." We agreed on that. They are all fine.
She has been moved to a geriatrics floor where she is warm and clean and eating 3 meals a day. She isn't interested in watching television but is content to sleep and read the same book over and over.
She hasn't asked to come home.
