hello loved ones – just wanted to let you know that this will be my last email for a while: I am just finishing packing up Janie’s house in New Denver, and the computer is the last thing to go. For those of you who pray, please pray that Janie gets accepted into rehab at GF Strong (or Kelowna), sometime between now & New Year, and that she’ll have a bed at the Pavilion in New Denver after that. I’m not really a praying person myself, but i do believe in its’ power, and having been winging it lately. I’m sure my unorthodox efforts don’t hurt. We have gotten the greenlight from Janie’s cardiologist in Victoria that she’s ok for rehab, and confirmation from her OT in Nakusp that she’s just at the beginning of being ready cognitively. I believe that Janie will quite enjoy rehab. They will offer many different therapies, including counselling. The mental stimulus, while challenging, will be so exciting for Janie. She is eager to learn new ways of dealing with her changed world. The various physical therapies will help as well, especially since she is now starting to achieve some sensation (albeit uncomfortable) return in her left side. Thank you all SO much for all your loving thoughts, prayers, songs, cards, letters, and energy. Janie’s supportive community have helped to keep us all going through this difficult time. Thanks again.
