Back on the Floor

Trudie got moved back into a real room night before last. She is in room 460 (404-459-1460). She is still pretty groggy headed because of the pain meds. I don't know if she will have many "noodles" to talk to people quite yet. If you call that number and get no answer, it will probably be because she's not in a talkative mood. Please don't take it personal - I'm sure if she knew it was YOU she would answer. But she has to be judicious about her energy. Sunday may be a better day to start talking.

Today will be the next stage in recovery; she will have to sit up. This is a necessary yet painful step. The doctor says that the quicker she can start moving about the less likely there will be complications. Trudie is being a real trooper and is mentally psyching herself up for the necessary, yet painful, task.

Two of Trudie's girl friends, a pair of Myrtles, came up from Florida Thursday. They came to support Trudie and me. They are leaving today and have been a big help in doing the little things I've not been able to get to.
