Blog Entry: Well my wife's mother is not healing as well has hoped. Drs expect a full recovery. When? No one is saying. It mainly depends on her. She has always had the frame of mind that if she were to ever use a wheel chair or get laid up in bed she would never leave such items. She seems to be thinking that if she is an "invilad" there is nothing she can do about it. Saddness and dispair hang around her and it's hard to try to pep talk her into just DOING so she can get stronger to get out of bed.
It's begining to fray on my wife and my father-in-law engery levels. They are at the rehab center every day to be with her. She hasn't been home since the day after christmas. All she wants to do is just go home but she seems to not realize that she has to actually work at getting her muscles back into shape so she can get out of bed again. Let alone walking. When my brother had that week of almost a coma it took him a few weeks to re learn how to walk again too.
My wife's parents are up there in age but they never seemed to act their age. But these last three years have seen a sudden turn around for them both. They went from bouncing elders to suddenly old people. Both their bodys and minds seem to have changed in their perception of themselves. I'm scared that both of there time's are going to soon be up. But I'm more scared that the just Asume that their time is up and will just fade away...
