So my mom broke her ankle this weekend, had surgery today, about to go wake her up to give her pain medicine, but it's been full-OT mode here since Saturday in regards to toileting, bathing, walking with a walker versus crutches, transfers, weight-bearing, etc etc etc. Good thing I'm an OT or this would be a lot more daunting. Today as I was in the bathroom with her after helping her from wheelchair to toilet and then standing in corner with back to her for privacy, I had all sorts of flashbacks of working in rehab, lol.
I have so many things I want to write about in regards to it – including how annoying it was that the parking lot for the ortho surgeons was a pain in the ass in terms of accessibility. Ugh. But we did like our surgeon and the center. 🙂 And I think I have a bunch of other posts saved as drafts I can post. And I am finally home to write some of the posts I couldn't write while away! And I will be doing a MAGIC WEIGHTED BLANKET giveaway in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!!! 🙂Â
