My 83 year old mom fell, breaking her pelvis and arm. Cannot operate due to severe COPD. She's alternated twice between hospital and sub-acute. Is on morphine and dilautin and Lexapro and xanex for pain and anxiety. Her mind was sharp before all this and now is loopy very often (probably due to meds). Several weeks have passed since her fall and I cannot get doctor to return my calls. I only spoke with him once in all that time and would like to know her prognosis, mentally and physically. Will her mind ever come back? Will she ever be able to walk or get out of bed herself? We do have staff meetings with therapist, nurse and social workers about mom's weekly "progress", but do not get her prognosis for future.
In your shoes, i think i might ask for a hospice evaluation; you would get a dispassionate evaluation of her condition.
This must be a very trying and anxiety provoking situation for you all. I'm so sorry.
