After a much needed beach trip, I am ready to post. Moma's ankles and legs are not swelling any more. She actually looks great. She still claims to feel bad. Dr. Robinson sent out home health to evaluate her, and they determined that she was indeed in congestive heart failure. She is getting extra doses of Lasix, and (ta da!!) HOME HEALTH twice a week!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness!! It is amazing what difference a little help makes. I think the Lasix is wearing her out a little, maybe making her weak, but she really looks much better and seems to act more alert. Thank you for your prayers.
She still asks 25 times a day what day it is, and where Kerry is, and what am I going to do, but she is back to her sassy, smart-alec self. The sitter said she has been a horse's rear end several days this week! THAT is my grandmother, thank you very much.
