It didn\u2019t happen while I was there but there is a report that Nancy escaped to the fourth floor today.\u00a0 Either that or when she started calling people on her cell phone they decided to throw her out.\u00a0 Actually, the move is supposed to be going on as I write this so I do not know a room number.\u00a0 I have a meeting to go to tonight and want to get this posted before I leave so I don\u2019t have time to wait on more information.<\/p>\n
They have a patient lifting machine (real name unknown) and Nancy can be sitting in a bed with feet toward the floor (or in a chair) and the machine is pushed forward and with straps and handholds she can be lifted into a standing position.\u00a0 Then she can be moved from point A to point B.\u00a0 Before today her legs and knees were so weak that this was more like strapping a sack of wheat to a pack saddle on a horse.\u00a0 She could not help at all.\u00a0 Now she can hold herself against the upper part and wait the few seconds for this thing to stand her up.\u00a0 She can then lock her knees and be vertical.<\/p>\n
