My mother is 71 and home from the hospital. she is weak. she was hospitalized for dehydration. is it normal to remain weak for a few days or more?

Yes: Everyone loses strength when they are in bed for several days. There is probably a home health care agency affiliated with your hospital. Contact them and see if your mother qualifies for some home health aids or physical therapy assistance to help with her rehabilitation. I am certain the case managers at the hospital can help you. It may take a few weeks to regain strength.
