Mother again

Well, it seems that Mother has recovered from most of the symptoms of the TIA she had Monday night. After doing a lot of reading about TIAs it seems the affects usually only last 24 hours. That's a good thing, but often they are the precursor to a larger stroke. She'll be watched. They found that she's also suffering from a major bladder infection...she's now on antibiotics.

Nancy found out yesterday when she went to see Mother that Bert told the nursing home "no more physical therapy". So that means Medicare will no longer cover her stay. A semi-private room is $203.00 a day. Not sure what we'll end up doing...that's not affordable.
