la_samtyrStill nothing new. The gas bill came today and it wasn't as bad as I feared (only $90) but I had hoped to avoid turning the heat on for another month or so. It's just too damned chilly for me though, I guess I am getting old.
My aunt was moved to the 5th floor of the hospital today, where she will have some physical therapy before being reevaluated. Really don't see how she can have much therapy of any sort since she is still not really recovered from her second surgery. She told me she will be there for a week and then probably go to Perkins Pavilion (an assissted, long-term care facility) until she is well enough to go home. I have my doubts. I don't think she is going to make it back home period. At least not to live, which is too bad in a lot of ways. If only she had accepted the walker and not messed w/this surgery. She also claims her back hurts (though she's been saying that for awhile but honestly, I just spaced it. At 93, aches and pains are just part of living) and that one of her doctors wants to look at it more closely. *Supposedly* this same doctor wanted her to have some kind of back surgery earlier this year but she wanted to wait. *sigh* I don't think she can handle any more surgery though. She already told me that she's had so many x-rays and stuff that her hair is starting to fall out and I just bet that it's affected her bones as well. But I keep my mouth shut. She doesn't want to hear it. I'm no doctor after all. But y'know, I've spent almost my entire life in and out of hospitals due to care-giving w/my family (my grandma, mom and dad, plus another aunt and uncle as well), so there's a hell of a lot that I do know. And I do know that I'm getting a bad feeling about all this w/my aunt.
Ok, back later on. Maybe.
