Not to jinx anyone-- but this has been some pretty good days. She is calmly awaiting March 5- Knee-day. She's had somewhat of a cold this week (mostly bad cough), but with the weird weather and all kinds of sickness going through church, towns, and schools, it's a wonder she hasn't gotten anything worse than that. They have given her some extra medicine and put her back on the breathing treatments, but other than that, nothing's new.
We continue to be amazed that she has such a positive outlook. Occupational therapy has ended (she's running out of various times of therapy, etc.), but she and Dad are "working out" on their own. (One of the comments made about OT is that she has learned to write again, which is fascinating considering she told one of her friends from Big Spring that she wouldn't be able to write anymore back in April. She's writing in books and working puzzles, crosswords, sodukus[?], things like that.) They have stopped physical therapy to save all her days once the knee surgery is completed (post March 5).
So, it's just a waiting game. She watches some TV (it's pretty lousy in the nursing home) but reads a lot and works puzzles, etc. They are trying to get her showered and in the wheelchair as least one hour per day, hopefully longer. She is convinced that, once she recovers from the knee surgery, she'll be able to get out.
We are, too...
