KABOOM. BONES AND FLESH FALLING TO THE HARDWOOD. 5:09 AM DECEMBER 4, 2007. IN SHORT ORDER WE DETERMINED AN AMBULANCE AND HOSPITAL WERE THE ORDER OF THE DAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY A DAY SPENT WITH DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS AND NURSES AND X RAY GUYS. SHE GOT HER PRIVATE ROOM AND DRUGS AND CATHETER (NOT HAVING TO GET UP TO PEE IS REAL BIG WITH JILL). BY 7:30PM IT WAS OVER. A 55 MINUTE SURGERY TO IMPLANT AN 11 INCH ROD IN HER RIGHT LEG AND A SOME ASSORTED HARDWARE TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. THREE TWO INCH INCISIONS ON HER LEG AND SHE IS READY TO DANCE (ALMOST).
HER HOSPITAL STAY WAS UNEVENTFUL. A LITTLE THERAPY, LOTS OF TESTS AND GOOD DRUGS. HER VACATION ENDED ON THE 10TH WHEN SHE MOVED TO THE ELKS REHABILITAION HOSPITAL IN BOISE.
ELKS, TUESDAY. JILL WAS ANALYZED SO HER THERAPY COULD BE PLANNED FOR HER. SHE HAD AN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST, RECREATIONAL THERAPIST, PHYSICAL THERAPIST, SPEECH THERAPIST, CASE WORKER, SOCIAL WORKER AND PSYCHIATRIST (ABOUT TIME). THIS PLACE WAS A LITTLE LIKE BOOT CAMP. MEALS ON TIME IN THE CAFETERIA, DAY PLANNED FOR THERAPY'S AND RULES. AS YOU ALL KNOW JILL DON'T DO RULES. IT WAS RATHER FUN TO WATCH.
DECEMBER 21 AND AFTER A CONFERENCE WITH HER THERAPISTS AND SOCIAL WORKERS AND PSYCHIATRIST AND CASE WORKER SHE WAS DISMISSED. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES.
