I've been to visit Mom twice now, and I've already seen a marked improvement in her condition just in those two short visits. We've arrived in the evening both times, and just about dinner time, so she has been receiving her meds just prior to our visit. This means we generally have about 15 minutes before the fog really begins to set in and she's off to loopy land (which, we have to remind her, is much better than being in pain from her recovering arm), but she's taking her meals in the group room now (which she wasn't before) and she's looking awake and aware and even talkative when we've met.
The staff still don't know how long she'll be there (since it all depends on the arm), but we should know more next week when she's on the last leg of recovery. Things though are looking good, and we're able to frequently visit and see for sure that she's being treated well.
She's back in room 214 if you want to drop by and say hello.
