My mom is trucking along. She is on the therapy floor now. She has speech, physical and ocupational therapy everyday. She is MEAN!! We just take it with a grain of sand though. Hopefully it is something that will pass. She is still extremely confused and is not sleeping well so I guess I would be mean too. The doctor said that people who have had strokes or brain injuries always tend to be short tempered and rude. I wasn't there when he told my aunt that so I don't know if it is something that will last forever. We'll keep our fingers crossed. She's pretty funny at times but if she catches you laughing at her you're in for it. She was mad at me yesterday because I was asking her to sit down and she said "Yes Lord Elijah whatever you want." My aunt and I almost fell over laughing. We still get glimpses of her old self so we know it is in there somewhere. The therapist said that if you took all of your memories, dreams, hopes and fears and put them in a blender and turned it on that is what my mom's brain is like right now. We asked if it would get better and she said the age old answer "Everybody's different." That sure is an irritating answer. She said some people are miracles and some are statistics. We'll take the miracle please. My mom is already a miracle, I don't know if I mentioned this before but she has no paralysis anywhere. Amazing huh. As long as she participates in her therapy she can stay at the hospital. If she doesn't participate as much as the insurance thinks she should than we are going to have to put her in a nursing home for a while. Yep I said the insurance. They won't pay for her to be there if she isn't doing enough. Nice. Hopefully it won't come to that but we are thinking that there may be some point where she will have to go to one temporarily. One day at a time though. That's as much as we can handle.
