I had a nice Zoom chat with Jeanne last night.  She is excited about going home next week.  This rehab place is very organized.   They have a small apartment attached to the rehab place.  So Sunday night Jay will check in to the apartment.  Monday, Jeanne will move in with him and they will spend the day training Jay on how to care for Jeanne.  Then on Tuesday, Jay will check Jeanne out and take her home.  She has been working hard on the stairs all week.  That is one big hurdle.  She has a full flight of stairs at home just to get into the house.  Once in the house there are other stairs but she does not have to do them.  Jay can cook meals upstairs and bring the food down to her level.  Their bedroom, bathroom and family room are all on one level. But my guess is that she will use stair climbing  as a daily exercise.

She continues to gain strength and the feeling is very slowly coming back.  Still very numb hands and feet. 

They are trying to set up a therapy schedule in Ely, for when she goes home.  Jay has been trying to get bars in place in the bathroom.  But that has been a big challenge.  She has a walker already.  She doesn't think that she will need a wheel chair.  If she does her church has one that she can borrow.
