The bed was delivered yesterday. Actually a platform with gears and a plug. It raises the head and the foot and is WAY shorter. I can raise it 3" if needed but I think we'll get used to this. The top of the bed comes up just above the break in my knees so I'm basically sitting down onto the bed. Dana will be close. No more climbing up. The raising legs and/or head part is just gravy. I think raising the legs will be good for her especially in the short term as she still has some swelling.

I visited her yesterday and she was doing well. I can already see her movement is improved. They are teaching her a lot of stuff that I know having been in sports and general movement (ships and skiiing and whatnot) all my life. Much of it is new to her. They are doing three hours a day. Other than that it is the typical bureaucratic hospital crap. She deals with it way better than me. Her attitude is good and she is motivated to get out.

They have said they would OK some follow on PT and I'm hoping to get it at the house. Home visit would be way better. The goal is Tuesday. Finger's crossed.

I'm off to play pickleball then will come back and eat and get ready to visit her around 3. I'm planning to take Toby again. And take an excellent lunch I made yesterday with trout and green beans and yellow bell pepper. It will be just as good cold as it was warm.
