Today was a very busy day for Anne. She took a walk in the morning with a walker down to the visitors area; went to physical therapy; went to occupational therapy; and went to pet therapy where they had a cute little dog that made her miss Lady. She had a visit from Dr. Lim and his P.A., Liz, who were both very pleased with her progress. She took another walk and sat in a chair for about 1 ½ hours!
She had a visit from a friend that she met who's had a colostomy, also, and they played "You show me yours and I'll show you mine!" with their ostomies. Her friend assured Anne that lots of people have this operation and lead normal lives afterwards. She echoed Anne's sentiment that this was something that she'd adapt to and move on. Anne says this is just a "bump in the road" and she's right.
As I told someone earlier, we're just walking life's road hand-in-hand!
Thank you all for being with us on this journey,
Don and Anne
PS
Anne has been moved to soft foods! She had beets, turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy, a soft roll and applesauce for dinner tonight. She really enjoyed every bite of it!
