My mom has great insurance and a pension and is in an independent living home, so she does have eyes on her and a button to press when she needs help. But even with that I still worry.
She just got back from minor surgery yesterday, but with the way corporate is with hospitals they try to boot you as soon as they can. I wanted her to stay, but she was in her own right mind, but always wants to do things on her own. They sent her home, she was only slightly weak, had her marbles, wasn't loopy,, ate well last night, but I would have liked her to stay at least one night. Well this morning I get a call that she had a minor problem at her apartment, nurse had to come over to change the bandage, but still. I hate the feeling of having to chose to push her to do the right thing and when to step aside. I am her son so she is stuck in the parent role and wants to do things on her own. I second guess myself and it is hard knowing when to step in and step aside.
I came home after some time today only because her friend came over, she insisted I leave and said she was ok. I am sitting at home right now simply worrying, probably over nothing but I love her.
