Admit for Observation
Mom has ongoing abdominal pain and is in the ED of the big hospital and they are going to admit her for observation for 1-3 days. Surgeon said earlier that the inflammation in the CT scan looked mild and Mom could go back to the rehab. Plain is not ongoing and they say admit 1-3 days. I wonder how we can know how long it will take, how long she will need.
It’s tough to plan the week and when she might be discharged. It’s hard to know what to expect and to imagine next steps. There are worries that this could be last Fall all over again and everything that came with it. Dad says not to worry ahead of knowing what will happen and as a mental health professional I too know better, but in the sandwiches season it is a challenge not to fear the unknown.
