I think Billy forgot to hit "paste", so here it is: Good news to report today! Penny has been up and on her feet today (with assistance getting up). She's learning to use a walker until her legs are healed enough to move to a cane then to nothing. She was awake and said she had a conference with the attending physician and physical therapists and the were happy about her progress. The doctor said she will be in the hospital next week and at least part of the following week. I can't wait until she's home but her attitude has improved, she's off the oxygen and IV's and has been sitting in a chair, been to the bathroom (Yay! No Bedpan!) and has been up and moving. There's still a long way to go but this is a positive start! Kristal ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
