Mama Land, Part Deux
Because Doug and I had been at Mom’s for three hours before she actually left her facility in the ambulance, my sisters Liz and Mary took the next shift.
They were in the ER for five hours or so on Sunday night. Sure enough, Mom had another UTI. They started her on antibiotics and sent her home. Liz and Mary scared me to death (and yet, I live…) when they said Mom could not take a single step from the ER gurney to the wheelchair. She had to be lifted, then lifted again into Liz’s car.
Mary called me when they were on their way back to Mom’s to tell me this.
“How will you get her into her apartment?” I asked, always one to foresee the end from the beginning. “And will one of you spend the night with her?”
“We don’t know how we’ll get her in,” Mary said, “But Liz is staying with her.”
It never occured to me from then until now to ask how they got her into her place, undressed, and into bed.
But I thank the dear Lord that Liz didn’t leave.
