I talked to Greig tonight, he spent a lot of time with Mama today, and he said she is feeling much better. I think it was stressful to unhook from the big hospital and jump into an unknown place but she had a few blessings there also. Her room mate is, by all reports, a very nice lady and they seem compatable. That's great. Greig reports they are friends already.
He also says that the great nurse who has cared for her for two days finally realized that Mama is Mrs. Grey, the playground aid who looked out for her when she was a student at Amble Elementary! What a small world. Its the little quirks of fate that add to our life, isnt it? Anyway, Greig said she was a great nurse before we found out she is practically 'related, so that is nice, also.
Greig scoped around the home and said that the staff treats all of the residents with respect and kindness and he was well pleased with the general overall facility. Believe me, if Greig says things are good, they are ok with me as Greig is a very good judge of medical institutions. We trust his intuitions and Marlene's medical expertise, and Susan's Compassion and Creig's keen eye for hunting sites. (smile)
So tonight we can rest knowing that mama is safe and relaxed about her new 'home' and is eating well and has new people in her life whom she enjoys, and
tomorrow she will be rested and ready to again work on her healing and mobility issues! And I will stop whining and get out my walking shoes.
I think I can sleep tonight.

Hey everyone, Myron and I went and saw Grandma and her new place last night. She looked Great. Grandma said we just missed Uncle Greg. Cody had a cross country meet in Saginaw and then hockey in Midland so in between events we went and did what uncle greg did scoped the new place out. We agree it seemed very nice. The staff were pleasant and most important Grandma appeared happy. She showed me her feet and how they were swallowen. She told me the polish on her toe nails was from when she went to Florida and her and Aunt Susan had a pedicure, a while ago. She said Lyndsy is coming sometime to do her nails again. So Lyndsy if you are going to see Grandma don't forget the polish. She introduced her roommate-friend to us also. Seems like everything is ok with Grandma, it really was nice to see here up and smiling. Take care all will write more later.
Hi Grandma - It was nice to talk to you last night. You sound great and I'm glad you are doing so well. Sounds like you had a visit from Vicki after that.
For all who might be looking for the patient phone # at Stratford Village - it is: 989-631-2254.
Love, Shannon
