Finally got her out of the hospital around 5 pm yesterday...she's weak, but happy to be back home. FIL had ordered food up from their restaurant, and had it waiting for her.
He said, "I didn't eat all day!!" I asked him why not, and he said, "Well, I ate some chips and stuff..." He probably was like a kid who's mommy went outside, and raided her hidden candy and chips. He is a diabetic, but just doesn't get it...
So now we need to make sure she drinks fluids every day...which she thinks makes her leak more. But really it's just one of those things that's either from old age or her Altzheimer's. Trying to explain that to her is impossible now. I just tell her if you don't keep drinking you'll end up back in the hospital.THAT she understands...
