Thank you for all the sweet notes of support!
I was moved to a small nursing facility for two weeks of intense physical therapy, to help me regain more of my natural mobility.
The staff at the trauma center was so sweet to me, and sent me off earlier this afternoon.
My new room mate is an incredibly sweet 84 yo woman who is dying of lung cancer. Her nursing staff and doctor don't think she'll make it past spring. She listens to Henry Mancini, lots of beautiful songs I've always liked too.
Sooooooo, I'm lighting a candle for her tonight. And lighting mine again.... And lighting candles for others, too.
