Today, the first day of women's history month, Shirley made more actual strides to recovery. They had her walk a lap around the gym, practice bed mobility, getting in and out of bed to and from wheelchair. They learned why all the corners are messed up at home because she drove the wheel chair into a door jamb. She has cut field vision on the right.

This is funny stupid, they have the no guns signs in two locations but neither are outside the building. Here is a photo of the one inside the foyer-air-lock door on the left wall. I won't tell them about their error because it would put me over my limit of correcting stupidity.

They also have another group of these signs on foam board located in an alcove that you see when getting off the elevator as you leave.

Doesn't look like 1" tall to me.

That one at the bottom is important, since hospitals became prohibited places with HB1927. That sign enhances to penalty to a felony.

See TPC 46.03 (a) 11. You can peruse TPC 46.15 to see if there’s a does not apply or defense to prosecution available to you.

But since it’s not posted in plain sight at the door, as long as you don’t stop and gawk at it, or whip out your phone and take picture in front of the surveillance camera….

Doesn’t take the hospital off the prohibited places list; the sign is optional; the wording and display requirements also differs from .06/.07.

The basic penalty for a 46.03 violation is a third degree felony; hospitals and a couple other places are a Class A misdemeanor.

What folks do is up to them…the changes done by HB1927 are still new.

I agree, but she’s in a rehab facility now.

Thursday 2 March, she continues to make progress but couldn't walk as far today. They have not projected a parole I mean release date yet. They have a team conference meeting Tuesday so maybe I will know then.

We were married by a criminal judge who was filling in for the usual one. You would think after 46 years, one of us would have been paroled!

Here I sit broken hearted
The power is out
And the dog just farted.

As you know, there will be ups and downs from day to day. Praying the long term trend will remain positive.

^^^^^ This.
Regardless of health or ability, the will be days we exceed expectations. And days we fail miserably to get close. But as long as there is overall improvement we win. That is pretty much all you can hope for in life.
She sounds like a fighter with the right attitude. She will get there.

Friday Shirley walked 140 feet with a walker and practiced putting on socks. Today she has no therapy and is resting. Wonder what tomorrow brings.

 

[General Zod]

Wonder what tomorrow brings.

Hopefully more work and more progress. Sounds like she's doing great.

 

[Army 1911]

Saturday she had no therapy. Sunday she had minimal therapy but I had her do figure eights around the furniture in the common area. This was to teach her how to drive a wheel chair better.

Today, Monday all her therapy was over by 1 pm. She walked about 240 feet with a walker. she had some SLP therapy which is speech, language and pathology, That didn't go like the therapist wanted. Shirley is technophobic and a lot of the therapy involved an iPad. This therapy is really a cognitive therapy and I doubt the therapist was aware of her previous accident and all the limitations she still has from that. Unfortunately I wasn't there.

Tomorrow here whole team meets to evaluate and possibly set a release date.

 

[General Zod]

Yeah, watch out for stuff like that, so they don't assume a cognitive problem when it's just an aversion to gadgets.

Tuesday, March 7th.
She is doing better and better but needs work on driving the wheel chair. I had her practice with the WC in tight spaces. Navigating forward and backwards, turning circles in tight areas, K turns and getting in situations where she had to figure out which way to turn, back-up and go forward combinations. This was after all her scheduled therapy. One of the therapists thought I was being tough on her. Told the therapist Shirley only has 7 days left to master this.

Oh yeah, she is scheduled for release into a mostly unsuspected society next Tuesday. Saw one of the Docs from the ER hospital who said he thought her progress was really going good.

I guess I should do the dishes and run the vacuum before next Tuesday, LOL

Better throw out all the empty liquor bottles and get that bikini off the ceiling fan, too.

Yesterday and today, Shirley made more progress. She has 2 more therapy sessions until the evaluate her on Monday for pre-release. She wants a hospital type bed at home which is fine but Medicare says she doesn't need one. Means about $1500 out of pocket. Been doing research on those and Invacare seems well regarded even against more expensive models.

If anyone knows of a better bed for under 2Gs, let me know.

Is that to purchase or to rent? I would think they have monthly rentals available.

 

[msharley]

Prayers up for you & the Mrs...

Here in Pa? You can rent those beds & other gizmos....

Purchase. We rented one 23 years ago ant it turned out we should have bought.
