Next Update on my sister.

Just wanted to say I finally got to visit her Weds at home. It was so good to see her!
Got a big bandage around. Got big pain killers. Ices it x times/day.

She's got her walker, and a cane. PT visits her 3xs/wk. Exercises in-between. Aide 10A - 2P for a while longer.

While she won't have a Xmas tree this year, she's got tons of beautiful decorations, and makes wonderful arrangements w them!
On a rare occassion I help. She asked for help this time, just before I was going to offer it. So fun awaits!

All in all, doing well. By Spring she should be back to full up, about and around.
So Thank You 🎉 all again for your support! When she's all spiffed up next Spring I'll report back. 👍🎄

These things, unfortunately, take time. I think for the majority of us, the older we get, the MORE time things take, too.

I am glad you got to see her. I'm sure that was a great blessing for her, and the help you were able to give with the decorations, etc. That will be a lasting gift for her to see and enjoy during the holiday season.

Hmmm, I was a bit vague.
We didn't do any decorating yet, but it'll be fun when we do!
Deprnding on how she's progressed I'll probably alot of the decorating. She's got such pretty items.

She, and her PT person went down her building's lobby first time a few days ago. Yay.
