gmommy update

Well Gmommy finished with her rehab but she still isn't able to go home so she's been moved to an assisted living place. God really worked things out with it. Mom, Aunt Darlene had already gotten everything planned out before they told her that's where she was going. They were really worried about telling her and how she would react. But God worked it all out. Gmommy had a doctors appointment that day to get her arm and hip looked at to see how she was doing. The doctor came in and said that things were looking great and that she is ready to leave the rehab facility however she wasn't capable of going home alone yet. He said that he really thinks that she should go to an assisted living place until she's physically ready to go home. So mom and aunt Darlene were relieved that the doctor told her that would be best for her. The amazing thing is that the doctor didn't know that it had already be planned to move her there. Once they got back to the rehab place the broke the news to her. My mom, aunt and uncle were there to tell her. She took it well. She wants to go home of course but understands that she can't do that right now.

Mom and dad went to Gmommys house the weekend of Easter to get some of her furniture and things. Then they brought it all down to the assisted living home, which is in Dothan. It's only 2miles from my aunts house so that works out really well. Wednesday they released her from the rehab place and moved her over to the assisted living home. She's doing really well there. She loves having her own stuff and that makes her a lot more comfortable and makes it feel like it's hers. It's a two bedroom suite with a den and kitchenette thing. She's also on the corner of the building so she's got more windows and they've put several of her bird feeders outside all of her windows. My mom spent the night with her the first night to help her transition better and so she wouldn't be alone.

It's been a week now and she's doing well. She's having a little trouble making friends but that'll just take some time. She's gotten her hair done there, she's gone out to eat with ( they have several activities through out the day like bingo, exercise classes, going shopping and going out to eat) several of the people there as an outing. So she's doing well and enjoying it more. So things are going well.
