I stopped in to visit Jane this morning, and she was enjoying a big tub of buttery popcorn! She said her appetite is not affected at all - she has lots of goodies to keep her tummy happy.
She was excited because this morning she rode the PT bicycle for the first time - at her request! She said her tush will be sore now as well as her muscles from all the exercises. She was to have PT again this afternoon, and Barry was to join her so that he could speak with the therapist and get an idea of what to expect when she returns home. She said it won't be before Thursday as she'd hoped; the doctors feel it would be better for her to stay at Greenville and rest and go directly from there to Pittsburgh for her cyberknife consult by ambulance on Thursday. They feel if she returned home Wednesday then traveled to Shadyside, she might be pretty exhausted. So she'll be staying so that she is good and rested.
She is a pro now at getting herself dressed and up and around - she even hung all of her clothes in her closet. She wanted to sit in the chair while we visited:
Barry arrived just as I was leaving. He and Jane are both excited about her new vehicle - a Honda Element. They're not sure which color yet - it'll be a surprise for the both of them.
She said yesterday the speech therapist had her work on counting backwards from 30 by 3s. She said it was somewhat difficult due to surrounding noise distractions, and joked that normally she'd need a calculator to do it anyway! I reminded her how far she's come in a week's time and how far she'll be a week from now.
She is really looking forward to getting home - to her friends, family and her 'own bed'.
