Today's Joy: My Mother-in-Law is now in a rehab center, alive and well and amazing us all. Things are progressing rather perfectly for her and that makes my life so much easier. She still has other health issues to tend to when she gets home, one of them being solid foods go directly into the lungs. I visited with her for many hours and had a ball with her, she is like an old friend and I thank God that we did not lose her. She sat there in bed putting pin curls in, yes...she was curling her hair can you believe it? We talked and she had mentioned to me that 'she changed' and this is a big accomplishment for her. She has realized she needs help and has fully accepted this fact. I laughed as I told her it only took a coma to straighten her out. Boy did we laugh real hard with that one.

Of course when my parents went to visit she mentioned that she could not wait to go outside to play in the yard. My Mom looked at her and said she knew where he Son-in-Law gets his fighting attitude. Joan replied that it would kill Ed if something happened to her and she fought for her life for Ed. She has a goal of getting home for Wednesday, Ed's new first chemo day. How cute she is wanting to be there for her boy, they are the cutest of teams. I am so blessed to have them both in my life.

Thanks for listening for this is a major joy in my life and the longest 5 weeks in a long time.>>Believe51
