I drove 11 hours today, but I was pretty pumped. Once I cross into Indiana where I lived all my life, I feel like it's all downhill. Even jumped off 65 due to stopped traffic and took a detour before getting back on. Jumped off again north of Indy and took state routes to my sister's place. I had a smooth trip all the way.
The best news is yesterday we were talking feeding tubes and today Mom passed a swallow test and was eating her lunch. Her speech is back and she is easily understood. I saw her tonight and she was very tired because they booted her out of the hospital and into a nursing home for rehab. She was at this same facility when she fell and cracked her pelvis several years ago.
Hers they said was a major stroke and too much time had passed to give her the clot busting meds. The doctor said he has never seen a 96-year old patient turn around like she has. Yay Mom!
Don't know how long I'll be here, but I have everything I need.
