Rejoicing

Well, Mom is just now getting to see some of the blog this evening. Dean came to the hospital and reconfigured her laptop to recieve wireless internet there. We were having trouble before so KUDOS Dean! Good job!

She said she is doing so much better. She is so happy to know that Mindy will be here on Monday afternoon. The same day they have scheduled her for a skin graft on her arm. Her timing was good to arrive at this time. Mom will be glad to have her helping, especially since she cannot use either of her hands and we're not sure how long this will be the case. She has to have someone hold the telephone for her when I call because the phone is too heavy for her wrist. She even has trouble turning the volume on the tv.

This will be getting better fast just like the rest of her. I wish I could go and see her now but it will be a week or so. I could actually be more useful to her now than when I was there before.

John mentioned yesterday that they don't expect her to remain in the hospital too much longer. Perhaps once she has healed well enough after the skin graft? We'll see.

Linda, I'm so glad that you are progressing so well. I've been following your progress every day on the 'blog'. Isn't it wonderful that we have this new way - at least it is new to us Seniors - to communicate. Keep following the doctors and nurses directions and you'll be good as new soon. I love you & miss you.
