Mom was disharged from the hospital at around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. She managed to hold down two meals...and yes pass gas......so they let her go home. I went over to her apartment that afternoon to see if she needed any help. She didn't need any help really. I spent some time watching her sort thourgh her mail and watching tv. I spoke with her yesterday and she told me that she had had incredible pain on Saturday night and almost went back to the hospital. fortunately the pain went away and she did not end up at the hospital. Her visiting nurse came yesterday morning. She has a telemedicine appointment today. Coo huh? They sent her home from the hospital with laptop. She has to take pictures of her incision with the laptop and send it to some doctors at the hospital. At 10:00 a.m. today she will log on and meet with these folks via the internet. Ah.....technology. This is an experimental thing.....we'll see how it goes.
