We have a slight change of plans for Joan's progress.

Got her moved to a skilled care facility Friday afternoon. It is a very good place for her to be. They have already evaluated her by both PT and OT as to her ability to move. Tomorrow Joan will begin sessions each day to help with physical strength, she already shows some inprovement. Estimated time of her stay at the facility is 2 weeks, longer, if needed. At that time Joan will come home (YEAH) and continue therapy 3 days a week until they have brought her as far as they can.

She announced yesterday her inspiration for plowing through this deal. We have a friend that broke his neck 2 years ago and is getting around quite well these days. He spent almost 2 months in Physical Therapy and Joan said if he can do it so can I. Very determined young lady, my wife - all 65 years of her.

Joan is visited by family and friends each day and loves the attention. I was told that I could spend the night in her room where she is now. I told Joan to move over in bed and make room for me ---- She said "I don't think so, this bed is for me." Gota love the humor in that statement.

I can only say to ALL for the thoughts, prayers and private messages - Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
