They put in the kidney stent last night. Right afterwards, mom felt no pain and was hungry. She hasn't wanted to eat in quite some time. They still have to do a biopsy and some other tests but it looks as if she will be coming home today.
Dad was all excited about how good she was last night and I nicely but clearly pointed out that with this stent, according to the Internet, she will not be able to mop, vacum, no heavy lifting for twelve weeks. She won't be able to care for the house, I can't and I didn't mention him but he is no shape to do it either and that something has to be done. I would leave it up to them to decide. But a 7,000 square foot house is too much! He said we would cross that bridge when we come to it! Yeah, right, the time is right now.
Mom has been yelling and screaming about doing all the work now for a year and the stress level has been off the roof. I've reached my limit. So we are only cordially speaking this morning. I think I made him mad. Well too bad. Mom has taken care of him his entire life - breakfast, lunch, dinner, laundry, housecleaning etc. He is like a two year old.
