I don't understand. Has something changed that I missed? You can't go home yet because you aren't mobile enough to safely be alone, right? And, yet they'll drop you off outside by yourself and leave you there?

I must be missing something. Either that, or what they're doing is criminal.

If that is the way it is, maybe you should simply refuse.
Oh no, the driver took me into the office and they took it from there.
It went good. They are now able to start range of motion excersizes on my arm. He said all looked good but the bar in my arm had moved a little. He might have to remove it if I want more ROM. I think I'll live with what I get. Don't need anymore of this. So another weekend here maybe go home about Tues or Wed. My leg is getting stronger by a little everyday. I can do ROM with my arm but still 0 weight bearing on it. I'm ok to start taking steps on my leg as much as the pain will let me. So I'm going to be wheelchair bound for a while but the stand and pivot is getting better. So I may live through this after all. Ginnys oncologist is really happy with her progress. She is still undergoing brain radiation with 2 sessions left after today. So far no bad effects from it. Thank God.

Well just got through with PT. It's getting a little easier, but then they add more. That was a workout. Did 5 stand and pivots with very little help. I'm pretty sure I'll be out of here by Wed at the longest. At least I hope. Don't need to lose any more weight and the food really sucks. We had some kind of soup today and it had a lot of stuff in it so thought it might be good. WRONG It was disgusting. Not sure what spice he used but whatever it was it shouldn't have been in soup. The sandwich had a slice of cheese and some little pieces of some kind of meat. YUK! Sneaking a few vapes now. and watching Animal Planet. Good day overall.

Well another day. Got nothing today. Going to see if the Aides can get permission to help me do a stand and pivot. So far they only have slide board which I haven't used for 4 years. I've been doing so well with the stand and pivot that there has been no need. But the aides were restricted to the Hoyer which is a crane sort of thing with a sling lifts me up and sets me in a chair and it is not fun either. Only thing with the stand and pivot is I have to have my legs on. Oh well Ginny will be up later which is always nice. Gets pretty boring on weekends.

Oh Boy to top that lunchtime slop is here. Just don't get better then that right?
Lets see what it is. Ok chicken noodle soup and mystery meat with tastes like old gravy from another meal in a bowl. Ice cream is always good.

It would be great if that happened. That way you don't lose progress you made during the week. That couple of days without doing it can really set you back. Tell Ginny hi for us & give her hugs. So glad she's doing so well!

Cathy, has Geordi been competing, other than in procreation, lately? View attachment 794437
Yes, a little. He has done well in conformation by going Select to Best of Breed (there is Best of Breed and Best of opposite sex, then there is Select dog and Select girl dog... You have to already have your championship to eligible for Select, best of loosers but still points toward his Grand Championship) and he just earned another title, BCAT. It's the 100 yard dash of speed chasing a lure - plastic bag on a motorized string. They time the 100 yard dash. You convert the seconds to mph. Have to accumulate 150 mph for the title and last weekend he did it! He just loves to chase a plastic bag on a motorized string!

He is such a gorgeous dog!! And I can just imagine that he loves chasing any bag on a motorized string! How does a dog accumulate 150 MPH? Sometimes I'd like to go 150 mph.
