It's Rose here, updating on Sue's Blogger account. Last night Sue transferred from the Missouri Baptist Medical Center to this place, St. Mary's Rehab Facility, in Clayton. So far, so good. She will get intensive physical therapy, three hours every day, as long as she is here. The pain meds don't seem to mix well with her other meds because she is a bit confused. I hope her need for pain relief is about to end. This seems like a fairly nice place, or at least as nice as one of these places can be. Nothing palatial for sure and not nearly the beautiful architecture and grounds of the rehab facility Margaret spent some time in. One good thing is that it is about ten minutes from our house.

Her tending physician today is Dr. Villaflores. Sue heard "Phillip Morris," which he wasn't pleased about. Turns out he is the one who tended to Denny when he was here six years ago. [I put fives years in my update yesterday. It was six.] There is already pressure to limit Sue's time here--that after a struggle to get her in at all. More about all that when we know more. For some time, she can put zero weight on her broken foot, a fact that makes any getting around extremely difficult, given the neuropathy she has in her hands and wrists.

Sue has had many visitors and phone calls. Now she has her computer with her, so will be able to update herself and do e-mail. Her e-mail address is www.marthaboaz@aol.com. Her phone number is 314 452-3685.

One additional thing. We got iPod Touches for Jalen and Brayden for Christmas. Sunday when Brayden was setting up his contact list, he wanted Granny's information. The thing has a line for "url." Brayden asked what that meant, and I explained it was the place you could put a person's website address. He took that in for a second, then, "You mean, like Granny's blog?" "Yes." With that, he typed in www.marthaboaz.blogspot.com. The boy is seven years old. The iPod Touch also allows you to do "Facetime," which is the ability to make video calls over the internet. Yesterday morning, Brayden facetimed me to say, "Have Granny facetime me when you get to the hospital." Sue did later, and video-talked with both Jalen and Brayden--surely a bright spot in a very tough day.
