Progressing on Foot

This week has gone better than expected. The physiotherapist had a goal of getting my mother to walk to the window with a zimmer/walker by end of this week and to the bathrooms by the end of next.
However, my Mum managed to get to the bathrooms today which is a major milestone. She needed a wheelchair to get but back, but even so this is good progress. I remain worried that other parts of her health remain slow to repair.

Sleep is one thing that she hasn't had difficulty with, but now she is very uncomfortable and the muscles spasm in her legs wildly when she lies down at night. This seems to be caused by lack of potassium and she is now taking it 3 times a day but with no visible reduction in her jitters. She lies awake and night crying with the discomfort until sleep finally comes around 1:00am and I can go back to my parents house. At least when she does sleep at night it is for most of the night i.e. the 5 hours and 30 minutes up until the oh so cheery cleaner crashes her way through the ward emptying the bins and shouting "Good Morning" at 5:30am!
