Last week Judy was transferred from the stroke unit at the Royal Alexandra Hospital to Laurier House (part of Lynnwood Continuing Care).
We were hoping that she would have a private room so she could sleep without the constant noise that is part of being in a 4-bed room. I was amazed that at her new place she has a private suite (bedroom, sitting room and kitchen). Ironically, my first thought was "What rent will I have to pay for all this space?"
I checked and was told, "The suite is charged at the normal rental for a private room." Wow I hope they are right about that.
This gives excellent privacy, where we can view our church service on Sunday, watch conference talks, read scriptures aloud, talk and pray, without bothering anyone else or being bothered by others.
The plan is still for Judy to be transferred to Stony Plain when they have a vacancy there.
In the meantime, this is a very nice place to wait.
Judy has a little movement in her paralyzed right arm and leg, but cannot use them to do anything. She is receiving insulin to manage her glucose. Her energy level is low. She faces many challenges.
Fortunately the new location is somewhere I can drive to, so I am no longer dependent on other people for transportation to visit her as I was previously.
Thank you for your love and prayers.
