(Mom update): Spent the evening with mom, hung out and watched a couple of episodes of Castle. Shes doing better every day, even if she thinks she isnt. Shes experiencing a lot of anxiety and worries, and is pretty weak physically. Shes doing PT, but its slow going, and I think that now that shes more aware and alert, its easier for her to feel discouraged. She doesnt intellectually or emotionally understand why it is that she cant do things she used to - simple things. She doesnt realize how far shes come; she focuses on how far she has left to go. Its hard when youve been bedridden for a month - you have a lot of work to do to get strength back, and mom was pretty weak before all this. All we can do is cheer for every little triumph, no matter how seemingly small it is, and lift her spirits.
