as of today (Saturday, April 25). She was released back to Vista Ridge about 2:30 today. She's feeling a little better, but still in some pain and discomfort, but the doctor seems satisfied the bowel issue is past (no pun intended-- I could have said behind her now, but that would have been worse... sorry!). This trip to the hospital didn't seem so frantically invasive (with nose tubes, etc. from the get-go), but more of a methodical way of trying to handle the bowel problem.
She DEFINITELY needs some anxiety medicine. Last Sunday, we found her very upset in the hospital room and had to wait for some medicine to finally quiet her down; the Xanac (sp?) made a big difference, calmed her down, and relaxed her enough to get some sleep. Tonight (and, actually, all day today) was almost the same, although she wasn't as upset as last week.
She is discouraged that she has lost a week of therapy and seems to be very anxious about moving forward. She's already missed one "deadline"-- she'll miss Michael's graduation in 2 weeks at Tech (unless a miracle occurs), so the next big hurdle is to be out and better in time for granddaughter's wedding in Fredericksburg in July. The clock is ticking, but at least she's back at Vista Ridge for more therapy.

Hello There LaVera; Sure glad to hear you're out of that ol' hospital and back at Vista. I certainly hope you are feeling better by now and that you can get back on those rehab exercizes. Hang in there Babe, cause better days surely must be just around the corner. Tell Ol' Dick and Ricky hello for me and try to keep them out of trouble. I Love You---Ol'Floyd E.---
