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!
