Andie was asleep wht I got to Good Shepherd this morning and when she woke her first sentence was "OH LYN, ... I HATE I HATE THIS... PLACE!" she went back to the rambling , seemingly unrelated words she's been using after that. In speech therapy the therapist was filling in an information sheet about her with Andie's help she was answering things like, where she lives, where she is now, why she's here and the good one was when she was asked about favorite pass times she said "MasterCard" as plain as day!

I spoke more with the doctor about why the catheter was put back in and pointed out that Andie seemed to always go along time before she had to "go". Apparently that's not related to what's happening now, they don't want to risk kidney issues from not expelling as much urine as she should. A nurse practitioner that travels around with the physician explained to Andie (she's still upset about the catheter being put back in and about not being allowed to leave there yet) that it's just back there temporarily and that even though everyone knows that she wants to leave here if she did she'd not get the intensive treatment that she does now and since the most recovery takes place in the first three months THIS is the place to be right now and it's for a relatively short time in the scheme of things.

There are times when she's frustrated and complains and doesn't want to go to therapy but once she gets in there she's usually attentive and tries what they ask. During PT she gets frustrated when trying to use the right arm and sometimes cries.

Two of the physical therapists came into her room this afternoon - they thought it was time for another therapy but were mistaken but as they walked in there was another lucid moment as Andie told them "You two just keep on walking!" and once they confirmed that she did NOT have therapy at that time she was like" GOOD!, see ya!".
