Ready to go... where?

She seemed to be having less pain, or maybe just handling it better, tonight. She has the medical OK to be discharged from hospital. One doc said earlier, that she'll "be home for Thanksgiving" which of course was a scary thought, considering that she can't get around yet. They're looking for a space at a rehab facility that also has dialysis, which is far more rare. And KP-Ortho wants her remaining foot evaluated with her special "CROW" boot I brought in tonight from home, before anyone tries to move her. The basic problem is her remaining foot hasn't healed from the previous surgery, and it already has new wounds on it, from favoring the right foot the past month. Yet the PT folks want her putting her full weight on it, when getting around. Imagine hopping around on an ulcerated foot. Makes me queasy, just thinking about it.
