Day 3- July 14, 2009

Marilyn and I took Mom to the hospital for stress test on her heart. Test took all morning but she passed and was cleared for surgery the next day. On July 3rd she fell and broke both elbows. The left one was broken but left to heal without cast or surgery. The right one was shattered and needed surgery. Doctors wanted to wait until swelling was down so surgery was scheduled for the 15th.

Mark and I had to quickly find a place for Mom as the place he had gotten set up for her did not have a private room after all. We spent the afternoon looking for a place that was suitable. Found a great assisted living spot at Preston Place in Kingsport. Nearby and well staffed, lots of activities and plenty to eat.
