I will be stopping in today.

I went last Friday for a lunch visit I took her a fish Sandhich from Carl's Jr. and we had a lovely visit her arm looked much better. I am going to go back today to bring her a few of Uncle Bob's old movies on VHS I told her I had a few good old shirley temple movies etc. that I would bring by and she seemed interested. She is effusive in her gratitude for all of the help and the outward expressions of love and concern.

MY VISIT WITH RINI ON WED.:

Joseph, Rocky, and I visited Rini on Wed. Joseph brought Arby burgers, fries, Pepsi, and a mocha freeze. We took Rini out in her wheelchair to the front rose pavilion and we ate and enjoyed our dinner. Rocky sat on a chair next to Rini and begged for bites of roast beef from her. It was so funny and she loved it!

Rini has been having high blood pressure for a few weeks, so Sandy Regional increased her bold pressure medication, which has helped, but not completely. When we brought Rini back to her room from our visit, her blood pressure was wonderfully low. It looks like pleasant meals in the garden are good medicine!

She would love visits from children, since she is surrounded by elderly ailing people all day. She loves her therapists because they are young, joking, and so positive!

Annette went to Rini's appointment this week with her surgeon to check on her elbow. It is healing just fine. He said that her injury needs about three months of rehab, and she has been there for about a month, now.

So your visits and positive distractions will mean a lot for these weeks!

Monday afternoon visit with Rini

I went to see Rini today I took her a Pepsi and helped her find the channel on her TV most likely to play movies she might enjoy Channel 38 AMC. She had her arm unwrapped and while it was very bruised it looked like she was getting quite a bit of use and mobility with that arm. SHE IS VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THE ATTENTION.

Here We Go!
