Winter Wednesday

Despite the weather this morning we made it to day two of outpatient rehab.  Sue had a nice referral to this facility and I'm very happy that it is part of the DMC, a big supporter of the American Heart and Stroke Association! Whoooohoooo! It's National Heart Awareness Month btw. :)

I had the honor and pleasure of escorting Con/Mom to her home away from home.  What a cheery place mainly due to the abundance of windows and high ceilings.  She likes everyone she's working with so we are truly blessed!  The arm is moving along slowly; her left side recognizes it, for the most part, and there is a small level of pain.

Con/Mom still has her alter personality and when the therapist asked her how she was doing she responded candidly, "I'm good.  Aren't I supposed to be?". Her "husband" is picking her up and as she intently gazed at my face looking for my name, it escaped her.....

On the drive over I asked her if she knew what day it was.  I didn't mean day of the week and she knew that.  It is the anniversary of her mother's birthday;  she would have been 100 and she remembered.  The other event I was looking for was Ash Wednesday.  You may spot her at St. James for ashes and a possible mass this weekend.

She is enjoying her outings and she has become very spontaneous!  I even received my own surprise visit yesterday when I was on a conference call. LOL  She always asks about the kids and she is very observant whether it's her home or not.  We'll continue the journey until Con/Mom says "when".

In memory of Louise Carol Storm Kesleay. Love and miss you, Grandma!
