Had a good visit with Angela this evening. She has certainly got her appetite back and is officially off the feeding bag now! Physically, Angela still has quite a ways to go. Hopefully the hospital will begin a Physio plan for her on Tuesday. Her muscle mass has obviously taken quite a beating so, like I told Angela, her really needs to adhere to the regimen they set her up on to speed up her recovery in that area.
Mentally, Ang seems to show memory improvement in a lot of areas too but according to some info I was told, Angela will be required eventually to be tested to see if she can accomplish everyday household duties such as cooking, cleaning etc.Her current residence is a 2 storey with no facilities on the main floor, so once we establish what Angela's capabilities actually are...we will then review the options at that point. I told Angela that her main focus needs to be on re-establishing a "life" and all the other stuff will fall into place in due time. Visitors are more than welcome now. Angela seems to cope pretty good with visitors. I am still asking that the conversations be kept simple....she does not need to hear of any gossip or other subjects of conversation that may get her agitated. I am sure that Ang's brain is still going through a healing process so lets not mess that up!
Angela is also on a strict calorie intake regime, so please refrain from bringing in any "treats" at this point. (unless its peanut butter cookies of course) heh heh If anyone has any questions prior to visiting, please do not hesitate to contact any family member, including myself. Ang is on 5TH Floor Room 509.
Thanks for your support with everything :)

This is great news, Ed. Does Ang know the details of what happened to her?
