Cindy "rehabilitating" on the lawn at
Lake Quinault Lodge
Hello Everyone,
Today, Cindy moved from St. Vincent's over to Providence Portland for a few days of rehabilitation. She was released from St. V's at about 1:00; I drove her directly over to Providence; she went through the admission process was settling into her new digs by about 2:30. The staff there got right on it...got her some lunch, gave her some introductory information, assessed her capabilities, set some goals, gave her her schedule for tomorrow, and gave her some occupational therapy. I mean, they didn't waste any time. They all seemed to think her stay there will be brief, but she'll need to continue therapy at home or in an outpatient setting. I think she's going to be a busy little bee for the next few days.
She's on the fourth floor in what they call "4K" in room 17. Her phone number is (503) 215-1417. They said I could come by anytime I want to, but that other visitors should only come after 4:00pm since she'll be busy most of the day. Just calling to chat might be the easiest thing to do. If you do decide to go see her, get off the Banfield at 39th, go south until you get to the roundabout at Glisan, go around until you turn east on Glisan, go a few blocks and the hospital is on your left. Go in the main entrance, bear left towards the gift shop and into the hall where the gift shop is on your right and Admissions is on your left. Just beyond the gift shop on the right is a corridor that begins with an uphill ramp. Go up the ramp to the blue elevators on the left and go to the fourth floor. When you exit the elevator, "4K" is on your left. Her room (17) is straight down the hall on the left.
She seemed to be feeling fine all day, except that her neck hurt in the car going over. It was probably because she hadn't held her head up that long in over a month. Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers.
