Greetings:
I need advice as my Mother has been in a rehab center for 5 weeks. She was admitted for physical therapy as her right leg was bent in a kneeling position. The physical therapist visited her the next day and applied pressure and straightened the leg out, and noted they would have to watch the same doesn't happen to the left.
After many days lying in bed, she has bad sacral wounds on her behind and now while lying in bed, her knees are bent up to her chest. I have been demanding PT twice a day in the PT room getting her out of bed, and that she is worse now than when she was admitted. But no, they keep her in bed. She has lost her appetite and wants to come home. Her loss of appetite doesn't help these wounds heal.
She and I both have Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis, and she has to get to the point she can transfer out of bed to a wc.
What do you all recommend? They are warehousing her there with speech therapy which she doesn't need, and she should be out of bed at least an hour a day to a sitting position. I am angry and very concerned.
I will appreciate any help you can give me.
