Today was a day of surprises and good news. Terry received 2 units of blood last night and her hemoglobin came up a bit but she has to receive two more units tonight. Evidently she lost a fair amount of blood during surgery. Those orthopedic surgeons are not known for their finesse.
At 10 AM the physical and occupational therapists came by and got Terry up and into a chair. She stood on her recently operated leg and bore weight. At 1 PM a wonderful surprise, Terry's sister Helen and her husband Bill drove in from Rome, NY to see Terry and they brought Terry's Mom. The tears of happiness were flowing. Terry's Mom is in a wheelchair and Terry being chair-bound made it difficult for them to hug and kiss-but they did it. An hour later Karen and Nissa arrived totally unexpected as they drove in from Nashville. More tears-more happiness.
Later I received a call from a Rehab facility in Livonia that they will take Terry for admission and she will probably be there a month or so before she can come home. Tomorrow we will find out when we can schedule an air ambulance and when we can get her out of Buffalo.
The only bad news of the day, is that the food is still insufferable. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
