Carla's family, Please advocate for your mom as I'm sure you are, don't let these folks intimidate you at the hospitals...they are there to do a job and you are their boss, remember that! You only have one Mom.
Long story but I just want to say this, I am 47 years old and in 1989 I had a major stroke, very major, it took a couple years to recover fully and still have lasting effects...what I recall most was not being able to speak for myself and how helpless I felt, the confusion and the inability to put thoughts to words, I felt as if I was in a dream and wanted to scream out but I couldn't and everyone just kept talking to me and about me, and thank the lord that my ex had the sense to KNOW what was best for me, cuz I wasn't able to communicate it....had they had their way I would have been recovering in a "nursing home" far away from my children, we all adapted and while being at home and the regimen of physical therapy etc, was exhausting...all the many appointments...I survived under the care of my best friend (ex) and my small children...my point is that your mother knows whats going on but is having difficulty conveying it...please be aware of that...
Carla, I am praying for you from the bottom of my heart honey, and when you can pm me I truly understand what your going through. Love and Prayers, Lynzy.
