Today, mum’s nurse discharged her from the Home Health roster. I will dearly miss these wonderful people. From the very beginning in December of last year, I have relied on the expertise, advice, and care these wonderful professionals have given mum. She’s lost more weight in the last week, she’s having a hard time breathing, her back (not near her kidneys) aches constantly, she has had constant nausea in the last few days, and she feels something is not right. I do not know what the next days or weeks will bring. Thankfully, other than her weight, tumor marker, and crackles in her lungs, her stats look good. For me, I know I am going to miss holding on to the lifeline these amazing people have held out to me. The blessing they have been is indescribable.
(NOTE: this nurse didn’t want to discharge mum. It was an insurance sort of thing)
Nurses form the backbone to patient care in centres like this.

Sorry your Mom’s not well and wishing her well soon. I wish there was a way for Doctors and Nurses decide when a patient should be discharged not insurances. Oh well that’s life.
