SUNDAY PM . 10 VILLAGE DRIVE
My mother and I drove through light rain to Vineland to see Colleen today. By the time we arrived around noon she had had her first meeting with an MD whom she liked and felt understands her medical conditions. Colleen also had had her first "assessment" meeting with an occupational therapist. It was a day of first meetings. While we were there, her case manager Suzanne, the same name as our mother, came into Colleen's room to introduce herself, talk about goals, and brief Colleen on what to expect over the next ten to fourteen days. We left as the first physical therapy assessment began. The gym looks terrific. As does Colleen.

It's going on 5:00. I've crawled into bed under a down comforter. Only thing missing here is Colleen.
