Day 48
At about 9:30 a couple of the therapist brought Glenna to the RV to see how she would do. She was able to make it up the steps with assistance. They had her pretend she was using the stove, shower and bathroom. She can get by but has a way to go. After getting in she didn’t want to leave. Going down the steps was a little more of a problem than getting up them. Glenna seemed to have more trouble getting back into the bus than the motor home.
After Glenna went back to the Rehab Center, Gerri and I went back on the buffalo hunt. We stopped at a couple of businesses that had sponsored them. No one seemed to know very much. We did find our first calf following a tip from one of the therapists. Our book shows that there were only four of these commissioned. It was in the side yard of a home in the east part of town.
We had heard that there was a buffalo at the Great Falls High School. We had a map, but the HS wasn’t where the map showed it. We will check that out later.
We had some items to pick up at Sam’s Club. When Glenna was being helped by paramedics her glasses got scratched on both lenses. They originally were purchased at Sam’s in Las Vegas in April, so we took them to Sam’s here for replacement. Hooray for Sam’s! The lenses were guaranteed for 60 days but Sam’s replaced them at no cost.
Sam’s is near the Montana Exposition Park so I dropped Gerri off and went to see if the buffalo they sponsored was on those grounds. The answer was no, but I was told that one was in the Tony Roma’s Restaurant, now On The Border which is near Dick’s RV Park. We had dined there a few days ago, but didn’t see a buffalo.
Before picking Gerri up I did a cache that was on the fair grounds.
We took the groceries to the motor home and went to On the Border for a snack. We had salsa, chips and guacamole made at the table. There was no buffalo in sight. We asked the waitress about it. She said she thought it was next door in the Chili’s Banquet Room. We didn’t have the camera with us and it was time to go visit Glenna. We now have tips on two buffalo to follow up.
Back at Rehab we got there just as Glenna’s supper was being served. She had already changed to her pajamas and chose to eat in her room. What a weird meal! She had ordered minestrone soup, a bread stick, baked potato cubes and chocolate pudding. Yesterday the nurse had told us that Glenna needed to eat more protein. Tonight I pointed out to the nurse that someone needs to check what Glenna orders so that she gets a balanced diet.
We went back to the coach at about 8 pm. I plan to be at the Rehab Center in the morning for the doctor’s rounds and patient evaluation. We will plan from there on what is needed to get Glenna functioning on a level that will allow us to travel.
Back in Las Vegas, Neva's hand seems to be healing nicely. The wound nurse is still coming to the house and Neva drove herself to her last doctor appointment. She seems anxious to get back to her normal routine.
