Today was a good day. When we walked in Helen was setting in a chair, and was easy to awaken. Her mind was much clearer tonight the majority of the conversation was current about real people. She reverted to the past and some dreams a little, but much more aware of who we were. We talked for about 45 minutes before she started nodding off for a nap. The timing was good because the nurses arrived to move her back to the bed from setting up in the chair.
She remembered Hannah visiting the night before last and Nicole and David visiting last night, also ask about Sarah and Frank.
PT had her up taking a few steps. They also moved her from the bed to a chair several times. She told the nurse they were torturing her when they moved her. The nurses said she is very cooperative and a great pill taker. That makes their job. easier
The evaluation for Acute Rehab began today. It will be good if they accept her. Medicare allows three weeks of rehab. It will take a lot of work to rebuild her strength so she can stand alone and learn to walk again.
