Colleen: progress

[mdlbear]

I've seen Colleen twice so far today: once in the morning (to deliver her Kindle), and about an hour ago on the way home from an afternoon outing with Chaos. I gave her a purple bandana that I'd found at REI.

She had an hour and a half of PT today; tried three times to stand up out of her wheelchair and nearly succeeded! They're saying maybe an extra half-week past the original estimate of two weeks. I can live with that -- it puts her home at about the end of the month, and stays under the 3 weeks of skilled nursing care that we get for free with Kaiser. (We get 100 days/year total, but after 21 days there's a co-pay. I don't know how much, but it can't be cheap.)

She's feeling a lot more optimistic this evening, and so am I.

Excellent! I'm so glad she's starting to see more success. :)

It's very good that you now know when you can expect Colleen to be able to come home. (It's also good that it will probably be within the limits of your health plan.)

I'm still very worried, of course, but yes.
