Sallie: When she hung up the phone, someone asked her who she was talking to and she said "Toni Hardy". :-)

Susie either stopped in or sent a nice notebook and pen to leave on her bedside table for everyone to sign and write a note when they stop. I was going to get a guest book and leave it for everyone to sign but this is better because people can write a little note when they stop by and then she can read them later. Thanks Susie!

She was up in the w/c and out watching TV in one of the common areas when I got there after work. Cathy Carr Tooke called me to tell me that she had a really good day today with PT. They had her up and with two people and the big walker that she can lean on, they got her to actually go almost 14 ft. Cathy was amazed because up until now, she said it's been a struggle to get her to want to move very far, if at all. So, now there is some definite progress that they can document and continue with skilled care a little longer. She still needs 2-person assists and the Sara-lift to get out of the bed but the short term goal is to get her to where 1 person can assist her to the toilet, etc.

She didn't want to eat tonight because she kept saying she had already had supper but it was tacos so they brought her one and she ate half of it. She was ready to get back in her bed after that.
