Thursday

Lois has blood in her urnine, which may be yeast infection, maybe because of her blood thinners, or something else. An orthopedic PCA (patient care assistant) found this, but made no call on it at all -- not his area. So, there's a mystery, I guess. She is growing stronger and stood on her own to bid farewell to neighbor who came in today to wish her well. This old neighbor didn't know at all that Lois was in hospital. She felt shameful for that, whereas she shouldn't.

Lois got calls from two daughters in Indy. Bethy said that it, "made her week" to hear from Mom and that she was doing so well.

There isn't any more word of when she'll get out of that area and then to rehab, but supposedly she might get her staples out tomorrow. After that, she stands a good chance of leaving hospital for rehab (24 hours or less) depending on all circumstances and heart rate/arhythmmia, etc.

Lois started in a bad mood from last night -- though waning. This morning she was attempting to use the bathroom when she was intruded upon twice. Her snide attitude toward the nurses may backfire on her eventually. She was unfriendly to all but three.

Pastor Keith came into hospital about the middle of her PT time, by the time he got up there, she might have been close to finishing -- it was unclear if he was going there immediately. He did say that he was there to say hi to her and check on her. He's a good man!
