Sunday PM

We talked to Jomie this afternoon.  She's been working with a retired physical therapist who has done wonders in showing her how to efficiently move her body from bed to chair, etc., without putting her "don't touch the ground leg" at risk.  At this point she is able to move around her room and even out to the kitchen where everyone hangs out, just using the walker.  This has also begun to build up her upper body strength.

Not much else happening.  She still gets a steady stream of visitors and is looking forward to seeing her orthopedic surgeon this week....which means a trip back to Tepic and the first time she's traveled in anything but an ambulance for the last four weeks.

She pretty much communicates outside Mexico via Skype, but I have started to push her to learn how to read her email, etc., but not enough to publish her address yet. ;-)

Next update will most likely be after the doctor visit, mid-week or so.
