Sunday

On Sunday, we went to the church with the big pipe organ.

A Visit From Ada

Great-granddaughter Ada came by to visit while she was in town.

She seems pretty friendly.

What a fine pair! See the resemblance?

Back Home

After a stay of ten weeks at Belmont Rehab, I moved back to Stonefield.

Everyone extended a very nice 'welcome back' to me, including Chef Al.

My Leg

I went to visit the surgeon's office, and they took a picture of my leg.
Titanium rod and stainless screws -- good stuff!

They took out the staples in the side of my knee.

Back In the Hospital

I was getting ready to move to Orchard Park Assisted Living.

It was to be a nice new one-bedroom apartment.

But... I fell down and broke my hip. First stop - emergency room.

Marty came down to help out. This is after surgery.

Now I am waiting to see where I go next.

My Chair

Care Plan Meeting

On Tuesday, my Care Plan Meeting was held at the rehab place. We (Gail, John and I) met with the care director, my main nurse, my physical therapist and one other lady (activities director?).

The first thing we noticed was a mismatch between their records and my actual progress. They thought I could walk unassisted and go to the bathroom by myself. Wrong! We explained that I could walk with my walker when I got here, but cannot now.

Then I reminded them about needing prune juice at every meal (doctor's orders!), and that I had to wait a long time to get help to go to the bathroom early this morning.

We think they were a little disappointed with the tone of the meeting...
