My Mom was discharged from the Rehab center this Saturday. We weren't even sure if they were going to let her go because she fell the day before in the bathroom. She was sent to have a CT scan to make sure she was ok and she was.  The really bad thing is they didn't call anyone!  They didn't call any of her family! She had fallen in the morning and I got there hours later and I just happened to find out because they came to take her to get scanned while I was there.  They wouldn't have said anything to any of us.  The more I thought about it more angry I became,b ut I didn't know who to speak to because the case worker "wasn't in" when attempts to speak with her were made.  I think we were all just glad she was getting out of there.  When we finally got all her things together and were ready to take her home no staff members accompanied us to the car.  They barely even said goodbye.  I asked myself if Mom was a difficult patient or if these people were just heartless assholes.  Some of the staff were really sweet and seemed to have bonded with my Mom, while others pretended she didn't exist.  I think someone there was unkind to her because when I came back to see her the evening before she was released she cried like a little child when she saw me.  She just wanted to go home to much.  I have had my doubts and misgivings about taking care of my Mom, wondering if I can even do it, but seeing my Mom looking so helpless broke my heart and no matter what happens I'm going to try my best to help her.  I just hope she gets a little stronger before we move in together. I helped her bathe that afternoon when we got her settled into my brother's house.  I also helped her go to the bathroom and helped her dress.  She's going to need a lot of help untill she gets her strength back. I feel a bit uneasy thinking of her living with my brother.  Last night he was wanting to make her take a shower, she doesn't need a shower everyday at this point; it's cold and she's not sweating so let her be.  He's also not the one who would be helping her take a shower.  I just hope he doesn't push her too hard and she gets too tired or discouraged and then gives up.
