TIME DOES HEAL!!

yesterday was a very busy day with adjustment to being in the hospital again-jane is at UPMC Horizon-Farrell-not too far from her house and the parking is free. it will be perfect as the company/friends she relies on to help her thru this mess can scoot up for short visits and keep the time occupied. today the decison was made to go the the rehab floor on the third floor at this hospital for now. when her strength is able to tolerate more hours of therapy a change can be made. the unit has 12 beds and a spot is all set for her tomorrow sometime. when u see her she will have normal clothes on and not the hospital garb. her speech and mental alertness seems to be best at suppertime. barked the order to me "i want to get in the chair' she still has no movement on the right side. they use a bed alarm on the bed so whe won;t flip out like flipper as sometimes she is ragdoll. she has been getting real strong with pulling herself up using the siderail. appetite improving and thank god the swallow compartment was not affected. well for now doug and i head back to home tomorrow. jane told me to continue to go on our vacation friday to see the grandchildren in florida til may 4. i have seen so much love /help/etc. amongst her friends and feel comfortable with this decision. eileen ,mom, and dad to stay for a while. well thanks for all the help with hugs,foods,etc. and just the phone calls. i have some neat pictures but do not know how to post on her blog! sorry and adios moe

Mo, I was thinking about how to get those pictures on the blog when I couldn't sleep last night. If you can get them on the computer and then maybe copy and paste them into the body of the blog when you are writing might work. Does anyone else have any ideas?
Also, Mo, it what really nice getting to know you more during this week. It is very apparent that your family really loves each other.
I pray that Jane will continue to improve. I can't wait to see her tonight. Have a great vacation with your grandchildren. We will take care of everyone here.
love ya all. Lisa
