GrannyJ is safely ensconced at the Good Samaritan nursing home. They are making her do physical therapy for two hours every morning, and the end result is that she is doing better. She had a Burst O' Energy this evening while I was visiting, and actually walked around her room on her own without me flailing the imaginary whip and chivvying her along. The best part? When she was done, she checked her blood oxygen level, and it was still over 90%.
The lesson here, we think, is that old cliche: Use it or lose it. They're making her use it, and thus she is finding it again.
Of course, this is an up-again, down-again process, and will probably take weeks. But it made me happy (oh, yes!), made her happy (oh, yes!), and I thought all her readers would like to know.
Additionally, GrannyJ's birthday is on Monday! So if you would like to leave her birthday greetings in the comments, I will be sure to print them all out and take them with me to read to her when I visit on Monday.
Happy four-score and three. Keep lifting them weights and trottin' on the cross-trainer and drink plenty of water (or gin as the spirit moves you).

Happy Birthday GrannyJ! I want to say thank you, I am moving to Prescott at the end of the month after throwing a dart at the map and your blog has helped me to have a better idea of what I'll be moving into. Keep healing up! There are a lot of people out here in the blogosphere who are pulling for you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Hoping you can feel the Joy of Movement today, even if limited. Take care, hope to hear that you are feeling better soon. Thanks so much for your blog.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear of your progress! Happy Bday my blog friend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I'm glad to hear you are improving. Thanks again for all your interesting past blog entries! You may not know it, but you've taught me a number of very helpful things about blogging by the way you do things on your blog and the examples you set.

A happy healthy birthday to you Granny J.........that's the best news I've heard in awhile. Kepp up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. I sent a special greeting from Germany to her email address.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a very Happy Birthday to you. For 21 days we were the same age - now you have leapt forward another year. So very happy to hear you are getting better.
ReplyDeleteFeliz cumpleanos, GrannyJ, from the Left Coast!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you (and OmegaMom) that you're feeling better and better.
Please keep on keepin' on... doing what you need to do.
Your fans miss you deeply and dearly, and we want you back on your blog, if you'd so choose.
You have enriched so many lives in many ways... across this planet and not just in AZ.
My darling hubby sends his love, too, and we want you to recover 100% so we can meet you at The Raven again!
Love and hugs,
~Anon in AV.
P.S. OmegaMom's "use it or lose it" comment is now affecting me... guess I'll start my exercise program, too. ;-)
Get well Granny J!
