Quick update. Aunt V got discharged this evening. I’m home for a moment to pack a bag, then I’m going to go stay at her place. Maybe one night. Maybe more. We’ll see. She, of course, insists she doesn’t need any help. Maybe not, but I need to know she’s able to get around before I’ll be able to leave her alone at her apartment.
Doctors never did figure out what caused the blood pressure to spike above 200. So the underlying problem is not resolved.
Thanks for all your kind thoughts.

I’m so glad to hear that they’ve let her go home, but how frustrating to not have any clues as to what caused the problem. 😦 She’s very fortunate to have you help her.

I’m sure Aunt V will feel so much better at home. I hope she continues to do well, and accets your help! Although, you gotta love an independent woman!

That’s great news! So glad she’s coming home and has you to stay with her! My elderly neighbors are always confounding the doctors too – they come home without answers and they go on and never know what caused their problem.
