Well my moms surgery went very well and im happy about the care she was getting at the hospital where the surgery was preformed. After only 2 days they started bothering her about where she would like to be moved for her PT. Well she was on morphine and basicly talked into going to the rehab hospital which we were not even informed about. Representitives from the rehab hospital basicly solicit their hospital directly to the patient while they are in the hospital (whos bed is considered prime realestate and who also gets a kick back from the rehab hospital if that patient ends up there) Well, had we (my family) known all this we would have mediated the situation for her. Instead they sent their reps in only when we werent there to persuade my mother into signing off on the transfer. So she gets moved friday and has had the most horrible care i have ever seen for someone who has been through a major surgery. Its a laundry list of problems and issues she is having that aren't being addressed. For one a nurse said in her report that my Grandmother was disturbing my mother (who was throwing up due interaction with medication that she said would make her sick (vicoden sp?) we had a huge run in with this nurse. now thats solved. Second, they put her in a wheel chair that was about 4 inches too narrow for her hips (yes the things that were just REPLACED!) and she was being squeezed. you could litteraly feel the heat on the outside panel of the chair from the inflamation. It took 24 hours of bitching to get a sufficent chair. There are other things, smaller but they are adding up to cause problems. When she asks to have a shower the wont give it to her, when she asks for ice packs i witnessed last night it taking 20 min to give them to her. Its just sad cause my mom is starting to lose her spirit and she is alone in there when we arent there to visit. Its just disappointing to me. I cant wait till she is out of there and at home with us.

cliffs: mom has surgery, tricked into being transfered, getting shitty care and has a douce bag nurse who accused my grandmother of disturbing my mother.
