Re: Now Daryl Dad....Today in the Garden

I remember someone telling me they had a situation like that (no one to take them) and the hospital refused to do the procedure. Eventually she rescheduled and just lied that a friend was coming at the approximate time the surgery was scheduled to be done. She then took a taxi home.

I think it is the insurance companies who push everyone out...I took a
friend this morning to outpatient...she needed to be watched for at least
four hours after her procedure. I wonder what people do who have no family
or friends nearby to take them and care for them.

It's been a long day, but he was doing pretty well when I left a while

ago.

My sister is staying with him for a couple of days, thank goodness.

There

was a bit of leakage of the "cement" but fortunately into the muscle, not
into the spinal canal, and the Dr. didn't think it would be a problem.

He

was in recovery longer than anticipated - over 3 hours, but he was lucid

and

walking a bit before he left.

Unfortunately, he took a small tumble in the bathroom about 15  minutes
after we got home, and he's not supposed to bend, twist or lift anything
over 8 pounds for a month at least. He landed on the edge of the tub,
sitting hard, but didn't land on the floor. I still can't believe they

send
a 92 year old out of the hospital so soon.

Thanks, all, for asking, and for your prayers.
