Day 36

I got a call this morning that a doctor wanted to talk to me about Glenna’s transfer to a rehab facility. I got to the hospital at about 10 AM. I met with Dr. Galvos and he explained the rehab program, which was pretty much like what she has been through in the past. We signed the paper work and Glenna was set to be moved at 1 PM.

While they were preparing her for the move and making it, I went back to the RV Park. The front shades were down so I didn’t see Alan and Joan arrive. We joined them before we went shopping. They showed us some cabinet and electronic work they had done in Oregon. Very nice.

We went to both Sam’s and Albertsons for groceries and arrived at the rehab facility at about 5 PM. Glenna was set up in room 205, sitting up in bed. She didn’t seem groggy at all, even introducing us to the nurse when she came in. She had also told the nurse about her past operations and what had happened during this stay. I still have a hard time realizing how much better Glenna is only three days after this surgery compared to the last two. We are hoping it’s a good sign of how well she will do when therapy begins. We left about seven after talking to the doctor again. The rehab people want their patients to get a lot of rest. They plan to do 3hours of therapy every day.

Back at the RV Park Alan and Joan came over and we visited until about 10 PM. It sure is good to see them again.

I finally got the ladder out and took the Adventure Caravan stickers for the Alaska trip off the coach. 
