Frieda Hudson Update!

We're at the end of the week already! Seems like I've been a day behind all week, I guess all will be back to normal next week. Speaking of next week....Frieda will be entering rehab on MONDAY! At long last, things are in place and ready for her to start the hard work of rehabilitation. She is SO ready to get going and is so excited to be DOING something each day. It has become monotonous and boring at this point, so it's time for the next level.
Frieda is still improving in many ways each day. In fact, on Wednesday, I did not go to Greenville and we talked on the phone! I don't know which of us was more excited. She was really chatty and laughed when she misplaced a word here and there. I had been telling her for a while that we had put Alltel out of business because we hadn't been on the phone since she went into the hospital. On Wednesday, however, she was clearly excited and elated to be on the telephone. Young Nancy had dialed my number for her mom and away we went. In fact, when I figured it would be just about time for Frieda to get tired, I started to wrap things up and she kept right on talking. At that point, I just let her talk until SHE seemed ready to go. I can't even explain what that felt like to me. I was actually a bit overwhelmed that the conversation was even taking place, but I loved it. Frieda was upbeat and excited. I am confident that she had a good dose of "normal" as well.
If she has made this much progress with very limited rehab up to this point, I can only imagine what kind of progress she will make once she gets going on Monday! I will be seeing her tomorrow, so I'll try to get a post in tomorrow night.
Here's wishing you all a great weekend and it's sounding like a rainy weekend too. We have a family reunion to attend in the middle of the state on Saturday. I'm in hopes the rains hold up until at least Saturday afternoon!
Keep the healing prayers and energy going!!! Next week is going to be a GIANT STEP FORWARD for our Frieda!
Thanks for stopping by!
