Change of Scenery

Yesterday afternoon Mom was moved to a transitional care facility at a hospital in Folsom. She no longer needs to be in trauma neuro intensive care, but she's not ready for intensive rehabilitation yet. Dad reports that the new hospital is hideously ugly - not as uplifting an environment as the really nice hospital in Roseville where Mom has been thus far. Of course, family and friends can always make an ugly room a lot brighter! So please do visit Mom if you're able; Dad says she really brightens up every time friends come to see her. (I'm already counting down the days until I can see her again.)

Dad told Mom he was sorry the new hospital location is not as nice as the former one, and Mom replied that she would keep her spirits up if he would, too. They are both hanging in there... together!

Everyone should read Lou's comment on my last post. He remembers some specific things Mom said when he last visited her. Lou, thanks for your visits to the hospital and for your comments here on the blog! It really brightened my day yesterday to see your post and know what Mom had been saying. "They say a little; I say a LOT" sounds like Mom is keeping a positive outlook!
