Ignored my MIL trying to send me home from her hospital bedside, and stayed with her through the night. The floor was understaffed, and they had her hooked to an IV and also gave her a strong diuretic. Nurses weren't getting to her in time for her to make it to the bathroom every 5 minutes. And she's wobblier after surgery than she realized. She needed help with all the up and down.

All she wanted was to go home, but didn't realize if she'd fallen, they would have extended her stay by a few more days.
