Hi -- This is Carole. That is exactly why I felt I had to stay at the hospital about 14 hrs. a day. I can't believe how many things I observed that never should have happened. And the level of "skilled nursing care" varied from stupendous to downright negligent. It was scary! Things are going fairly well here. Home health care and so forth begins tomorrow. -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 11:56 PM Subject: Re: PD Hospitalization In a message dated 1/9/02 12:20:42 PM Eastern Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes: > You're right.

I went through much the same thing a year and a half ago when Mother broke her hip and was in a nursing home for a few weeks. I had to make sure everyone who handled the medications knew what she could and could not have and even then I stopped a sub just as she was giving her one of those protein drinks to wash down her Sinemet. This was after spending all day there for a whole week to make sure they new what they were doing. Ted truly is a lucky man.
