Update on Grandma...

We got back from the hospital on Sunday night (the 16th) - sorry it's taken me so long to update ya'll on here...I've been busy getting back into the swing of things (I didn't do school, piano, or voice for 4 days, so I'm trying to get caught up :). 

Grandma's surgery went really well and she's already started feeling better. She's started PT (physical therapy) and they'll be working with her for about 10 days and then see where she is at strenghtwise.  She's works on walking with the walker, raising her arms above her head (they had to cut into muscle for the surgery, so her shoulder area is really sore), marching in place - those type of things.  Hopefully, she'll be able to go back to her apartment, but if things don't progress like they should, or she isn't strong enough, she may end up in the nursing home, which we really don't want.  Her numbness is better, but it may not completely go away.  The surgery was able to stop the numbness from progressing and hopefully her fibromyolgia will get better too.

The hospital, Avera McKennan in Sioux Falls, is a really cool place.  And they have amazing food too! :)  We ate at the cafeteria a few different times and they had a wide variety - anything you were craving at the moment, including frozen yogurt - Yum!! :)

Anyway, she's doing a lot better and she's in the best place she can be right now.  We're just glad that she's still with us and doing as well as she can be at her age.

Thanks for your comments and support <3
