Marie's Recovery

As you know, Marie fell and broke her hip last week. She spent a week in the hospital and then was transferred to a rehab center that is very close to our home. We go to visit her once or twice a day. She is working hard at her therapy even though it hurts. She does therapy she is not asked to do so we are extremely pleased at how well she is doing.
The facility is beautiful. When you walk in the front room looks like a rain forest. The plants reach to the ceiling. It is filled with flat screen televisions, sitting rooms and asmall ding room for family get-togethers, and two activity rooms. It has a very large dining  as well for the residents. Marie really likes the food. She has a choice of two different entrees for every meal.When we visit she likes to tell us what she eats and what she does in therapy.
She is making friends with her roommate. She likes to tell her the stories of her life. The lady was amazed today at what a large family she had because hers was small. Today Fran and I attended a combo music activity which was fantastic. Marie could go because the pain pill made her so terribly tired.
I will continue to post updates on Marie's progress.
