Hello All,
A short update from CPMC. Mom is making some good progress. She is now able to dress with some assistance, transfer herself into a wheelchair, eat and drink. She still has a long way to go, but has been remarkably upbeat the last day or so. The thought of her next surgery is a point of stress, as is the possibility that she may not make it back to 100%. I am hoping that she will, and she is doing everything she can to get there, she just had some rough injuries. We have to remember that we are just a couple of weeks into rehab, and that this will be a slow process. The medical system is as frustrating as ever. We have been waiting two weeks for a call from her ortho, and have heard nothing. Her treatment is being adversely affected by his lack of follow-through, and we are getting pretty fed-up. This whole thing has been tough to navigate. I hope we see some improvement in the health care system over the next four years, although I don't think anything short of single-payer is going to do much. Anyway... Mom appreciates all the cards and calls, and will be having visitors over the weekend. Heather and I are heading up to Sonora for the weekend to pretend that we are on a honeymoon. Not that the last two months haven't been great...
Love,
Geoff

Oh, my gosh, I just learned about Sheryl's accident yesterday (Nov. 8) through a mutual friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I had no idea this was going on -- many good thoughts and healing wishes being sent your way! -- Alice (from Oklahoma)
Geoff, I am so happy that you and Heather can take the time to just be a couple of newlyweds! With Fred and Patsy happily there for the weekend, your Mom is covered visitor-wise and is safe and cared for. I hope you and Jennifer both had great weekends with your spouses! Let me know what I can do, if anything. I am so pleased at the positivity of the blogs these days and your mom's progress. I miss her so much and can't wait to be able to speak with her. Love and hugs to you all. "Cousin" Laurie.
