While getting her hair done, the tray for her walker was delivered and I signed her discharge papers. When she returned from being coiffed, she told me she had said her goodbyes to Sylvia and was ready to leave.
After stopping at Barb's Pasties, Hollywood Market, Star Bakery & The Bread Basket, we made it home around 1:30. She walked through Hollywood using the shopping cart instead of her walker and did quite well. Once home, she strolled through looking at the minor changes and deemed them okay. Following lunch she declined my offer to do the dishes and accomplished that task with her usual flair and attention to cleanliness, even using her gripper when she dropped a fork.
She made a few calls after unpacking and getting settled and after our naps, we discussed our lack of appetite for Pasties tonight. I know what's for dinner tomorrow!
When I left, she was planning on fixing a cup of tea and watching the news.
That's it for now folks.
Our favorite tea drinker.

Hallelujah! Another new chapter begins and unfolds! So much hard work for her, and for each of you. Thank you from her church family for seeing this through to a homecoming!
Home is both better, -- congratulations. It is just harder, too (in some ways).
The pictures are really great, and being able to read the ongoing events, even when just regular things are going on, is very warming and informative (thanks).
Our ongoing wishes in this next chapter.
Love, Jim and Gaylene Rosaschi
