Update: we got mom to hospital last night. In speaking with her doctor we felt it was the best way to get her the tests she needs in a timely fashion; he’s concerned that her breast cancer could have metastasized to her spine and that could be why her back is all messed up. And the best way to get a CT scan (and the other tests she needs) quickly is at the hospital. And since we had no way to get her safely downstairs we had to call an ambulance so they could safely bring her down and transport her to the hospital.
It’s fucked because it seems like such a waste of valuable resources (hospital bed, EHS) when those things are in such short supply, but there really was no other option.
There has to be a better way…
