Mom's Discharged . . . but No Diagnosis :(

Valerie is now at home.  I just got home. Briana and I needed a break from all the stress, so we stayed the night in a local hotel.  Unfortunately, they (either hospital or the doctors) have not come up with any diagnosis and she is still very bad.  She goes into these "episodes" where she has no idea what she does and other times she does things and remembers part of them, but not much of them at all.  Like, now, just when we got home, Briana was in the back yard and our mom opened the door.  All our mom did was yell "Niblet!" and then Briana told her that Niblet couldn't be out back because the dog door had been closed.  Her response was something like, "I know, but I just wanted to see if he was out back."  She is pretty hard to understand.  

They did a CT Scan and an EEG, but the neurologist saw nothing.  

She needs care, but the hospital discharged her on a Friday night and only gave us papers that said there were referrals for home health care and social services.  They didn't give us any numbers.

The moment we got her home, she fell when she got out of the car!  She said she needed to use the bathroom which was an improvement over the general situation.  When she fell, I told her to crawl up the stairs, into the house, and to the bathroom.  Briana was going in afterwards and our mom was on the floor writhing around like a fish.

My mom is much heavier than me and much taller than Briana.  Then, with my scoliosis and Briana's scoliosis and other problems resulting from her surgery to make it better, we can't take our mom falling on us like she does.  It's been happening every day.  

My back and my legs hurt so much right now and Briana's ankle hurts - and this is all from our mom falling and not helping to get herself up off the ground.

Yes, she has been declining rapidly.  There used to be a few times these weird "episodes" happened, but it wasn't much.  However, they've increased in frequency.  We need to get help to switch our rooms, too.  There's lots of heavy furniture that we can't move on our own.  The house is also a mess and this is mostly because of our mom, now.  She thinks she is "cleaning" when she throws things around.  Briana and I worked so hard to get rooms clean before, and our work is now seems like useless.  Sure, sometimes Briana made and makes it difficult, but she KNOWS that!  Her making it difficult does not help, but it helps that she understands what happens.  Our mom doesn't seem to understand it at all.
