Mom, Sarah Abbey, in rehab now, mostly recovered from urinary tract infection

Mom is out of the hospital and in rehab again.
Thankfully they still had room for her at her preferred location, Church of Christ Care Center.

Mom is tired a lot. She took a half hour nap after lunch, then woke up. She ended up sleeping most of the afternoon.
It is rare for her to sleep in day.

She is eating well; She can have honey consistency foods and liquids.
She is talking clearly.

She looks a little confused at times.   Dad said she can not  remember her being in the rehab before.   However she follows new things just fine.   So her mind seems to be okay.
She can walk or stand with support.  I am not sure how far she could go,  but I trust the therapy will improve it.

Mom wants to go home.   I told her she would have to work (at physical therapy).
Mom said at  that point she does not want to work.  She  wants to take it easy.

She was not able to get comfortable in the bed very well.   However she was able to sleep while Dad was talking.

She is in isolation,  which means she has a room to herself.   The reason is her urinary tract infection means she can not share a bathroom. Her infection was resistant to some antibiotics, but she seems to be responding now.

Dad seems okay.   He occasionally worries about the paperwork or forgetting something,  but is doing fine.   The staff is very helpful to him and Mom.  Dad was very talkative today.
