Be it ever so humble ... there's no place like it !
On La Donna's last day of Speech Therapy at Riverview Rehab, I heard her Speech Therapist ask her, "What is your favorite meal?" She responded, "Cube Steak with Mashed Potatos and Gravy." So to celebrate her home-coming, I ran to the grocery store and bought some steak. I got the recipe out of her box, but couldn't figure out how to do it.
So when I got her home, I parked her in her wheel chair in the kitchen and had her advise me step by step how to make the celebration meal. It came out beautifully and we had a great first day home.
Now for meals ... the people of Whispering Woods have committed themselves to bringing in meals for this first week (and I can tell we are going to gain some of that weight we lost the last few weeks). Then the Fishers United Methodist Church people will bring the meals the next week. (We never got rich in the ministry ... but we are millionaires because of the friends we have accumulated.)
Our son (Monte) came in on Saturday and took off doors to ease the passage of the new wheel chair through. He set up the shower with a bench (and shower curtains to replace the shower doors). Then he put in a grab bar in the Master Bathroom which greatly aids in the transition from the wheel chair to the toilet. He lowered the 32inch bed to 21 inches by removing the box springs (making the transition into be much easier.
Our kids have been so supportive in this ordeal and we are grateful to them all.
