Today we found out that my mom has developed a blod clot in her left leg. While not the best of news, she is taking it well. Apparently, developing a clot in the left leg when you had surgery on your right hip, means you get to be on injectable blood thinners for the rest of your life. It isn't uncommon in patients who have had cancer to be more prone to blood clots because their blood becomes thicker. Due to the blod clot, the earliest that she would move to rehab is Wednesday. We did find her a place nearby which seems very nice. I'll let you know where and when she moves. In the meantime, my mom is sick of hospital food but doesn't want anything from outside either. They keep bringing her Ensure shakes and she keeps sending them home with all of us. Her appetite isn't the best but she is eating.
A few people have stopped by to see her or have called her which helps break up the days. It has been the perfect amount of visitors and calls - not too much to overwhelm her. Thank you for all your love, prayers, and support. We are truly blessed!
