Sunday was a non-event day.\u00a0 There were a couple of visitors and me for lunch and supper.\u00a0 By non-event I mean there was no therapy.\u00a0 Nancy got a lot of rest.<\/p>\n
Monday the therapy folks made her work hard.\u00a0 Then as lunch was about over a tall thin fellow with a guitar and a fiddle, two young ladies, one with a guitar and one with a fiddle and a 2 year old \u2013 came to play for the patients.\u00a0 The man came to Nancy\u2019s building but the other three missed the fact that there are two facilities side-by-side, and they entered the other one.<\/p>\n
For a short time the man was alone with assembled patients, a guitar and a fiddle.\u00a0 He asked if anyone could play with him but no one was able so I got Nancy \u2013 she is in the adjacent room \u2013 and just as the two of them got started the other ladies showed up.\u00a0 The man was from the upper mid-west and the ladies seemed to be local.\u00a0 They all knew the tunes, though, and Nancy didn\u2019t.\u00a0 They would start a tune and she would have to pick it up and add what she could.\u00a0 Some were story-songs the fellow had written.\u00a0 It all worked quite well.\u00a0 For the last song they powwowed with Nancy and agreed on a tune she knew.\u00a0 She was most pleased.<\/p>\n
When I got home I had a message on the recorder from a person in Yakima that wanted to tell Nancy about the latest blood test and what amounts of medication to take.<\/p>\n
Tuesday morning I gave the number to Nancy and she called the person.\u00a0 The conversation was a bit off-kilter because the lady felt she was responsible for reviewing tests and changing medications and, somehow, she didn\u2019t know that Nancy was not at home and didn\u2019t quite grasp that Nancy knew only that her blood had been taken \u2013 and nothing more until a rehab nurse brought the pills.\u00a0 The nurse then talked to the lady in Yakima.\u00a0 The source of confusion was never uncovered.\u00a0 We don\u2019t know who handled the med-change on either end.\u00a0 However, when the nurse explained the change and the reason for it to Nancy and me we both understood what was being done and why.\u00a0 We have never known the chain of data once the blood is drawn.\u00a0 Were we supposed to?<\/p>\n
I expect Nancy to leave rehab on Friday.\u00a0 I think the decision is still to be made on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
