maybe, in the hospital. This has been a little bit of a rough time.
She is still on oxygen and liquid diet only. She is still somewhat nauseated, and has some anxiety issues (again). They put the PICC line back in yesterday, so she was poked and punctured so much (her veins roll, so it is not easy to get those things going) that she was pretty much too nauseated to eat. We visited with her for quite a while last night, and she's frustrated that this is taking so long.
Add to the pneumonia a bladder and kidney infection, and it's just going to take some time.
Meanwhile, she's missing out on a lot of therapy, and that's frustrating, too.
Hopefully, by the middle of next week (at the latest), she'll be well enough to go back to Vista Ridge to her regular routine (including eating real food!).
She is moving around better, and they did put her in the shower pretty much alone yesterday (which was a horrowing experience for her), so she is at least maintaining some strength and not losing too much mobility and flexibility she had gained from therapy at Vista Ridge.

uHello There Ricky, Pam, Dick and La vera; Just a quick note to thank you very much for the update! Sure hope that La Vera can get over the pneumonia and those other problems real soon so that she can get back to Vista Ridge to continue her rehab exercises. She has been through so much already that it just seems only fair that she's due for much better things to come in the very near future!
Praying for you all-Love You-Floyd
Dear Friend, La Vera-via Floyd I understand that you have had a set-back, but I am praying every day that you are feeling much better by now. I can't remember if I mentioned that I had surgery on my right hand, therefore can't send cards for a while. I can use my email by using left hand fingers. We had our first snowfall on Saturday, It was so beautiful, with the mountains , trees etc. covered in white. Today the sun is out , and the snow that is left won't be there for long. However, the mountains will keep their snow caps until next summer. Bob has been very busy these last few weeks winterizing everything. So we are ready! You are never far from my thoughts, always in my heart and prayers. I love you so much, my dear lifelong friend. God Bless You Always, Nelda Jo
