Message from Debbie

I'm thrilled and touched by all the birthday calls and wishes I received today. So far, it has been a good day. Pain-free, no intestinal issues. I enjoyed lunch with my girls (Jen, Paige and Peyton) - they brought me a cupcake and it was delish! Mickey picked up a chicken salad sandwich from Panera (courtesy of Montgomery College Library) and a chocolate croissant. What more could I ask for (whispered "Breyers Chocolate Ice Cream"). I got bunny hugs and delicious kisses from Paige and Peyton and birthday wishes.

I am going out tomorrow for lunch. Looking forward to seeing everyone and I hope I have the strength and won't disappoint anyone with my performance.

I am nervous about moving. I think that is not unusual. I'm nervous about establishing new routines, etc., but I'm also looking forward to it. I have a new aide staying with me at Levindale from 7-7, and I feel more secure about that. Hopefully, they are finally getting the commode issue straightened out. My day is much shorter and sweeter if it is pain-free, and that is best I can ask for. I will be satisfied with that for now.

I've been standing by myself in PT for over 7 minutes. I'd like to tackle stairs next.
