Mum went down to the floor today when I arrived at the hospital. It was like it was at home, her legs just went weak on her. But the aide who was walking her was able to lower her to the floor and get help. So it wasn’t a fall. It took them using the ceiling lift to get her off the floor. That was very upsetting to her. She couldn’t stand on her legs. But she’s not reading eating either. They also released her to the nursing home. I did all the paper work except the DNR. I said that had to be her decision. She decided on a DNR. That makes this very real.
