My sister was discharged from the hospital last Wednesday after a week in the hospital. She came to stay at our house because she is very weak and tired.

Well, the fun has already started. She was supposed to call after the got out of the hospital Wednesday (Wed afternoon, Thurs, or Fri) and make doctor appts for this week. Did she? No. I'm going to make damned sure she does tomorrow and I've told her I will drive if she needs to me. And I reminded her we don't cancel appts when we feel bad--that is when we need to go most of all.

I have issues with this because after mom got out of the hospital she was supposed to go to another city for an appointment with her cardiologist. She said she felt too bad to go and cancelled that one and an appointment with her local GP. Gail didn't force her to go. And gee...well, she died. *sigh*

We're going to see if she feels well enough to go home tomorrow afternoon after the home health care nurse comes and after she makes her calls. It's hard for her to get enough sleep here with Kevin and Gabey (since she is up all night and sleeps all day).

She's on coumadin and will have to go in for frequent blood draws for a while. They will be testing her for clotting disorders--if she comes up positive, then they will test me.
