Real Food & Family

Carol is discharged from the hospital very late, and CJ drives to Pam's in the dark late on Tuesday, October 15. It's a good thing he's made the drive many times. Getting her into the car required the assistance of a good Samaritan resembling a retired linebacker. It took everything Pam, Randy and CJ had to get Carol from the car to the house and into bed.

Her first morning is fantastic. She does well in the walker although we realize a need for a wheelchair. A good night's sleep and a good breakfast appears to have done wonders.

By the end of the second day, we realize Carol motors about on the walker quite well in the mornings but fades as her energy wains as the day progresses. Nonetheless, she is making progress which exceeds our expectations.

The hospital has turned her care over to an excellent organization. She is visited by a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, and has an virtual appointment with doctor.
