The neuro rehab nurses declared Mom well and strong enough to come home for the weekend. Dad and I cleaned house and Mom was delivered by van Saturday afternoon.
It was good having her back home. The dogs were happy to see her, poor things. And she was happy to see her grand-dogs.
It was like having a baby though--- only one of us could go out at a time for food or errands since someone needed to make sure Mom didn't fall.
We took her back tonight and my brother face timed her at her rehab room. He got blunt and upset with her when she complained about her loaded therapy itinerary for this week. When she logged off, she started crying and complaining about him, asking why he's so mean. He means well, but he just has no tact. But he did spoil the end of her weekend. I'm dreading the Labor Day holiday and Christmas already because he's flying back home. You know it's bad when I'm thinking of ways to land myself in the hospital over the holidays or even contemplating incarceration instead of living in the same house as him. I've got a lot of mixed feelings... he means well, he has done a lot, but he's just an asshole sometimes. To a point where his good deeds aren't redeeming.
