Mom update: So she runs completely out of rehab money on Thursday (the 10th?) and will be released to live at my aunts house temporarily on Friday. She isn't strong enough I don't think but the insurance has run out and she won't get more money until she has been out of ALL medical facilities (hospitals included) for at least 60 days.
Mom says she is active and eats well. In reality she refuses half of the exercises they make her do and they keep asking us for suggestions of things they can bribe her to eat bc she won't eat, says she's not hungry. Like I'm not hungry half the time either, but I make myself eat because I need to keep my strength up. That's how the body works!! We worry about what will happen once she's been at my aunts for a month or so - like will she insist on going home when she clearly can't care for herself, will she get the accomadations she needs to live alone, or will she just get worse and break something or fall down or whatever and be back in the hospital and we'll just start this all over again.
I have no idea, but six months in and there has to be some sort of conclusive ending here, damn.
