My sister took my mom to see her GP this AM and he took one look at her and was appalled that they let her go home when I took her to the hospital. The hospital had told me she had at least one mini stroke. The GP said it was a major stroke and I had been doing some research online and that's what I had discovered myself from what is going on. Anyway, the GP, which is also my GP, phoned the hospital immediately and had it out with them and told them she was coming right back and wanted her thoroughly checked out and admitted. So, my sister is still at the hospital with my mom and has been all day. My brother has been updating me. She has been admitted and they've run a barrage of tests, no idea what yet, and still have a lot more to be done. It has been determined that she did have at least one major stroke. They have said that my mom can never go back to her house. She will now have to live in a nursing home with 24hr medical care.

I know she is getting the care that she needs and I'm very thankful for that, but this is all so terribly upsetting. I know this is not how she would want her life and it kills me to know that she has to go through all this.

I'm soooooo distraught again and the tears are flowing.

I'm sorry to bring this subject up again but I need some support.
