"Hey!......Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!!!!".....the comedian

Paula's improving everyday. We've realized that when Paula wants to say something, and can't remember the word she wants to use, she inserts the word "Glucose," or "CBC" (complete blood count), and other words that she used as a Med Tech.



She started eating better yesterday, and ate all of her breakfast this morning.



Yesterday morning, she told me that I would have to fill her in on things, that she knew she had a lot of catching up to do and I would have to help her......which, this was GREAT for her to realize this.



She wanted to talk to Terry and Joy (Terry is one of our pastors), from what I could hear, she carried on a very meaningful conversation about the church, chior, her flute......she told Terry she was anxious to get back and see everyone.....she told him and they would have to help her and show her what to do.



Terry, Joy, Lanis, and Terry were so impressed by their conversation, that they came down yesterday afternoon to see Paula in person.



Amy and Vilas came Friday, and we were sitting here talking with Paula, and Paula said last night was "strange." She said she needed a "number" to get out of her net cage that is around the bed.....and when the nurses would go by she would holler at them "Hey!.....Hey!.......Hey, Hey, Hey!!!!" She said they came in and pointed their finger at her and told her that she needed to go to sleep, that she was the ONLY one in the whole hospital that was awake.....Paula said she just needed a number to get out of bed! When Paula told us about the "Hey, Hey, Hey," she laughed and laughed. We talked about it several times yesterday, and all of us would laugh, but especially Paula.



Paula talked constantly yesterday, and she looked like she wanted to go to sleep, but kept talking.....I told her if she was going to sleep, she would have to keep quiet......she said we'd have to put some tape over her mouth, and then she laughed!

We talked and laughed about the "Hey" and "tape" many times yesterday....Paula was SO funny!

Paula wrote appx. a 1/2 page apology to the night nurses saying "I am sorry that I got so upset to "Name"...." I couldn't ready much of the remainder except for occasional words.....so last night, Paula wanted to go to the nurses station and give them that apology. The nurses just "gushed" over how sweet that was of Paula.
