OK, She’s mostly Canadian but that wouldn’t have made a very good title. We just got back from our first walk down Polk Street since getting out of the hospital. While the pace couldn’t be called “breakneck”, things are starting to pick up for Grace’s mom (her name escapes me at the moment). She’s getting on track for good health and should be back to 95% about the time that Grace comes home to keep us awake all night. Her blood pressure is normalizing even as the docs are slowly taking her off the meds, she’s allowed out of bed for a few hours a day to do some non-stressful activities (I’m not sure how laundry got onto the stressful list), and she drove for the first time opening up a world of possibilities with hairdressers, waxers and massage therapists. Baby steps, but getting there. Good job, Grace’s mom.
