YOU ARE NOW ENTERING THE.....

Today was a little bit like entering the

When I arrived to break Marcia out of Rehab this morning, she was still sitting on the side of the bed (see last night's Blog).  She said it seemed like hours since I went for scissors to remove her hospital jewelry.

So the big day was here....it was surreal since 6 days ago she hobbled in to have two hips replaced and was now going home walking better than when she arrived!

HUH????  Did all that really just happen???

(doo doo  doo doo, doo doo doo doo) Twilight Zone

 

Before leaving we made a quick trip down memory lane, stopping first at the pretty white-lighted Christmas tree in the lobby to bid it adieu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next stop, a visit to the check-in lobby Christmas tree where we stood six days prior on the way to surgery. Marcia insisted on a quick game of "Missing Marcia" - (kind of a  combination of "Where's Waldo/I Spy/Highlight/& Bev Doolittle paintings) so the Admitting Clerk and I played along, letting her blend in and out of the tree... After all, she'd been cooped up for almost a week and look what she'd been through!

Can you find her?

 
HOME SWEET HOME

Marcia then said her final farewell and walked across the sky bridge to her car.
 Being the Fashionista that she is, Marcia 'donned' a Silver Designer BMW Walker to match her ride and her YMCA "Silver Sneakers" membership card.

Then, as we neared home, the Twilight Zone feeling set in again.
We arrived home at 2-7-4-0....having just left Room 7-2-0-4!

After a week of relative isolation, shut-down, major surgery, and some hard rehab work,
R&R (rest and retraining) is on deck.

Marcia is going to remain unplugged/unengaged for a while to put total focus on movement: therapeutic exercise & walking with planned steps that avoid instinctive no-no motions. Her phone and doorbell may be turned off to decrease startling sounds and help her focus, and she has in-home trainers coming for a couple weeks to wrap up.

Marcia will continue to have family help for another couple of weeks, and she will put out the "Time to Go Social" call when she feels like she's truly Wonder Woman sturdy and refreshed.




In wrapping up, it has been a pleasure documenting Marcia's adventure and meeting many of you in person and online...you are all lovely!


Fabulously Talented but Unemployed
Blogger for Hire

 

As you may recall from a previous blog post here, as of tomorrow I will no longer be blogging for Ms. Hanford because she fired me because I can't figure out why some people can comment on her blog and others can't I have decided to take some time off from blogging and attending to Marcia's every whim  to spend quality time with my family.


OH, AND AS FOR THE PUPPY, BABY GRACE,
she still has no relevance to this blog but she DID grow a LOT in the last 6 days!!!
