I visited Friday. Mom and Dad seem to be adjusting to the new normal.
Mom is at home, and seems to get around fine around the main floor of the house without a walker now.
She is much thinner than she used to be, but seems at a healthy weight.
She looks a bit confused at times. Mom's understanding is she was very sick, and still recovering. She understands she still has issues with her short term memory.
It seems like Mom's recovery is slowing, and not getting much better. Topics we discussed two weeks ago were new to her. She also did not remember seeing some of her visitors while she was in rehab.
She does appreciate the good care with which Dad is taking care of her, and the cards and letters.
Dad is (maybe) starting to learn that the things that Mom says incorrectly do not always need to be corrected. I think that aspect will be a source of frustration for them both for a while.
