Doing Great-Plans Revised

You can't keep a good woman down! Mom was up and taking laps around the floor this morning. It wears her out, but she is doing great. . . so great that Dr. Roberts plans to discharge her either Wednesday or Thursday! Instead of bringing her home now for the 10 day period in which she needs 24/7 care- they have decided to transfer her to Heartland with daddy! So either Thursday or Friday I will be taking her and getting her settled in there with dad. She really seems to like the idea - and is relieved to have the opportunity to get some therapy right away.  The other therapy that she will do in a few weeks at the Wellness Center in Martinsburg is actually "cardiac rehab".  At Heartland, she will focus on walking - getting up and down out of bed and just returning to her normal activities of daily living while supervised.  Dad is sooooo excited about his new room mate - even if it is only for 10 days.  We had to make mom promise that she would not be dad's nurse but that she would be a "patient" otherwise she would get put into another room! 

If you are able to visit my parents this weekend - now you can in one stop!  We'll let you know if their room number is going to change.  We'll know more tomorrow.
