What a wonderful friend you are, Patti...Jeanne in Dayton -------Original Message------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 3/22/2008 2:50:13 PM To: tmic-list-at-eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] I Visited Jude I was able to visit with Jude Thursday afternoon (about two hours) and maybe I tired her out, but we sure had a good visit. It was a sunny first- day-of Spring in Michigan and I wanted to share it with her. Shame on me, I visited unannounced. I caught her on her lap-top writing to Phranque and asked her to wish him a Happy Spring from me. Jude doesn't have any addresses due to the work that was done on her computer so she asked that everyone send her a note so she can update her address book. She likely has sent the request herself - I haven't been on the computer since our visit. The bad news is that she won't be going home at the end of March as she had hoped. The good news is she survived a flu bug that hit her in the worst way on Wednesday. Jude has "seniority" in her two-bed room so she was able to be moved near the window where the sun was streaming in at full force. The window overlooks a courtyard and she will be able to see people coming and going this spring and summer. I hope I'll be able to go out there with her soon and watch her manuever her power-chair. When I visited Jude a couple months ago she was sitting in her chair 15 minutes at a time. She said she can now go up to two hours. There seems to be improvement in that area. Jude is grateful for the phone call that Gunny made to the nursing home administration on her behalf, because she began receiving better care immediately. I witnessed the staff helping her reposition herself and wished I could share some of my movement with her. TM sure isn't fair is it! She had the cards that she received displayed as well as a tin from the home-made biscotti that Alton sent. She appreciated all of your well-wishes
I'm looking forward to our next visit with Jude. Patti - Happy Easter to everyone from Michigan - no, make that from ME!
