Paul's Update: Aug 11th at 7am
It has been a pretty good week with Karen, so I thought I would give a quick update. She goes everywhere with her walker these days, and rarely uses the wheelchair now, especially when she is at home. This Tuesday, many of you who were there to see that Karen attended the weekly gathering of her running club at Genereous George's. Although I wasn't there, I heard from Eric and Deborah that she enjoyed it immensly and was rather keyed up when she got home. In fact she didn't want to go to bed at the usual time. She couldn't stop talking about it the next day, and kept telling me how wonderful you all treated her that day. I am sorry I missed it. It was the first outing in which she didn't even bring her wheelchair with her in the car. Earlier in the day she had a doctors appointment too, and used the walker to get there as well.For those of you who were there at Generous George's, thanks for making it so memorable for her. I think you will agree that the little movie that was included with my last post is quite outdated already, and that was taken on July 25th.
With this progress, not all improvement is with her motor skills. Karen's mental condition is improving as well. She gets a little feisty at times, but hey, that just means she's getting back to normal. We try to do a crossword puzzle together most evenings that I am there, and I can see the improvement there too.
Karen does get bored sometimes when she is confined to the house so much.
This is understandable, and one of the reasons she enjoys visitors. So, please check in to arrange a visit.
