Home Sweet Home

Well.....we decided to bring mom home yesterday, l went to the hospital at 8.30am to "catch" the doctor while she was doing her rounds. Told her that l want to take mom home and we need her advice........ what should we do incase her sugar level is not in order or if there is a fever, and when dressing her bedsore what medication we should use and so on....... She answered our questions patiently and wrote down everything that we will need for the dressing. Because I "took" mom on my own and not by the doctor, I needed to sign some papers to clarifly that, medication was perscribed to mom which l collected it from the hospital pharmacy and, lastly..... to pay the bills. That's the procedure of dischargeing mom from the hospital. Next l made a call to the private ambulance to bring mom home, it's easier because they have the equipments and are more experienced, it cost Rm80.00 for a trip, it's affordable. At the same time l made an arrangement for one of the nurses from the Melor 1, to come and dress mom's bedsore, and "VOLA" everything was well arranged, so l said goodbye to the nurses and doctor.

l was in the ambulance with mom, the siren was on which l thought was not neccesary, so told the driver not to turn on the siren when we were about to reach home in order not to disturb or attract attention from the whole neighbourhood.

At last we are home with mom, l have prepared her bed the night before and turned on the ripple mattress. Few days ago mom was really looking so bad that l think she'll go anytime, even the doctor said she had less than 2weeks. But after she came home she looks so much better now, the swell is almost gone, l can see mom is much more relexed at home than in the hospital, and........... I' m feeling so much better too to have mom at home!!
