Oct 23rd 'big day'

It's 1:11pm and my mother is snoring and she has good reason to......

At 7:30am both Dr. Boyer and Clulow were in to see her.

Shortly after that, breakfast arrived.

After we finished breakfast, Jody from OT came in. She worked with my mother on her vision and some other coordination exercises.

Once OT was done, ST (speech therapy) came in and worked with my mother to strengthen her throat, tongue and cheek muscles.

Once therapy was complete, we got my mother into a wheelchair to take a ride outside.....no sooner did we do that, another nurse showed up with orders for Dr. Clulow to get a chest x-ray done.

After the x-ray we remained in the wheelchair and FINALLY got outside.

Once we were outside, Betty met us with Colin (one of the two cats that live with my mother/aunt Betty).

My mother was happy to see and pet Colin.....she called him a 'manly man'....samething she used to call Marz (her cat when she first moved to FL). Colin, consequently 'meowed' back to my mother!

My mother enjoyed the warm breeze of South Florida. When we came back to her room, lunch was nearly around the corner.

As you can imagine, after lunch my mother was out like a light!
