To keep this somewhat tractor related heres me pulling my 1953 E-5 Coop at Adrian,MO in June..
On July 11th my dear 82 year old mother-in-law became very ill and needed a triple bypass due to 98% blockage...Successfull surgery was preformed on July 15th in Joplin,MO...They had her up and walking right away...With help she was walking 4 times a day on July 21st which was the last day she was in the hospital.....Her heart surgeon stressed to us that walking was very important..
The evening of July 21st she was taken to a nursing home with the idea that she could possibly go home in 3 weeks...On July 22nd they were letting her push a wheel chair down to eat and she was doing fine..We came back on July 23rd and she was no longer being allowed to walk....She had to be pushed in a wheel to go eat and elsewhere.....We questioned them and they said that it was just too soon and that they were just scared that she might hurt herself....No doctor ordered it and no medical reason was given.....She wants to walk and get out of there as soon as possible but doesn't want to rock the boat..
My wife and I are not happy and we are wondering if they are just dragging their feet hoping to keep her there longer and get more money as she has 100 days insurance coverage......Is it time to move her elsewhere or are we just over reacting???We are calling her cardiologist and local doctor in the morning...Most everyone tells us that no matter what the age its walk-walk-walk to help her recover as fast as possible....What have been some of your experiences??
