At that point it seems like the patient needs a frightening amount of care--I can't imagine how people handle it who don't have a rock-solid support system. I think actually that they might go to rehab before going home.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747223126169684757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-19545447056177539192012-09-12T04:48:39.210-05:002012-09-12T04:48:39.210-05:00I dont usually comment but I was amazed to read th...I dont usually comment but I was amazed to read that your mother was out of hospital just 2 days after a hip replacement! Is that a usual time frame in America? Working in a hospital here in Australia, I know that the very minimum is 5 days on a ward post op for such surgery! Anyway, I hope your mother has recovered well, I'm sure you are the best nurse for her!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383748267895907453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-85883399614726674042012-09-04T09:34:24.809-05:002012-09-04T09:34:24.809-05:00I can so relate to this post.

Getting her out to go to the doctor is like trying to get the baby out the door. Replace a diaper bag with an oxygen tank, a tote bag with a change of clothes in case of an accident, etc. It's been so long since I've had to do more than grab my purse and head out the door, it's exhausting. Not to mention the sleepless nights, waking up to see if she is still breathing(she has level 4 COPD), so much like checking on a new infant every few hours not to mention my constant homesickness since my husband and sons are hone in FL and momma refuses to move. Anyway, I understand how these slow days seem to just fly by.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764998966877086819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-51228127207845796822012-09-02T12:29:45.228-05:002012-09-02T12:29:45.228-05:00Thank you for your continued example of grace in a...Thank you for your continued example of grace in all of life's situations.

Being with you in your home can ONLY help heal her faster!!<br /><br />I love your comments, too, about life with little ones. My son is 5 and my daughter is a *busy* 20 month old. I mostly try to focus on keeping everyone well-fed (I cook and bake a LOT) and dressed in clean clothes. Your 'people before seedlings' comment cheered me because half of my garden is all weedy! And last night before bed I was reflecting on life and on stewardship, and I thought that although I LOVE the idea of stewardship of my visible 'stuff' (keeping our garden productive, sewing, making things, etc) at this point in my life I really have to focus on stewardship of the invisible--the hearts of my children....relationships over things. (Which is so HARD at times when you can *see* results of 'visible work' but the invisible things result in messes, but happier families!) <br /><br />These little reminders? They buoy the spirits of those of us still wrangling the babies!

Hip replacement surgery is not fun.<br /><br />I also very much appreciate your comments about not getting anything done when you have small children. With a baby and 3-year old, it's nearly impossible. Instead, I concentrate on keeping the laundry clean and cooking. Your post from a long time ago about feeding your family as many fresh vegetables as possible and just enjoying the season - I took that to heart.<br /><br />Thanks for the loveliness you share,<br />Katherine in AtlantaKatherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-76596314419358179582012-09-01T06:45:55.638-05:002012-09-01T06:45:55.638-05:00You're doing a lovely thing, caring for her at...You're doing a lovely thing, caring for her at your home.<br /><br />A blessing for her, indeed, and she'll have Daisy and Bella to cheer her!<br /><br />DeannaDeanna Rabe - Creekside Cottage Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133684514103206137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-638476402637929002012-09-01T02:46:25.131-05:002012-09-01T02:46:25.131-05:00Get well soon Anna's Mum.Get well soon Anna's Mum.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751315680374413649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-31069098733637199432012-08-31T23:28:45.646-05:002012-08-31T23:28:45.646-05:00O yes most definitely people before seedlings.O yes most definitely people before seedlings.Flepandcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829255811468297928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-3089963101253519632012-08-31T23:09:24.822-05:002012-08-31T23:09:24.822-05:00We are facing that surgery for someone In my famil...We are facing that surgery for someone In my family.
