Paula....the comedian!

Paula's laughter normally matches her "glow!" When Paula laughs, she LAUGHS!!!!

So far, she's only called me once today......insisting that I come get her and take her home......I told her no....we can't bring you home now, you've got to get better. She said I will go CRAZY if I have to spend another night here....PLEASE! Take me home! I told her I would be there after lunch, and I would spend the night with her......she said, "Do you promise?".......

Yesterday, she called me 4 times before noon....the last time, she called me, she wanted me to bring:
  • some loose fitting pants
  • some tops
  • a jacket
  • a clock.....I said why do you need another clock....there's one on the wall. She said she couldn't see that one at night (which is true, it is not a lighted clock), and she needed to know her schedule and what time they were doing therapy. I said where are you going to put the clock......she said on my pillow behind my head......I said do you have eyes in the back of your head....she said YES!
  • and.....a pair of scissors.....I said scissors???? Why do you need scissors? She said to get me OUT of this place!!!!! (she was referring to cutting herself out of the net surround that they've got around her bed)

She told me that she passed her "swallow" test, so she'll be going on a regular diet.

If there is any other substantial news, I'll post again this evening.

Thanks again for your emotional, physical, and financial support....but especially for your prayers.
