I have a great friend named Beverly. She is 89 years old. 8 weeks ago she fell and fractured her pelvis. She’s been in a rehab since she got out of hospital. This rehab is a terrible place. It's a glorified nursing home. She lives with her daughter Vicki and is having a countdown to when she gets out. I'm going to stay with her three days a week while Vicki works. I just love Beverly, so, I don't mind at all. She's been in. A wheelchair since this happened and I told her the doctor said there is no reason for her to be in a wheelchair. I've got lots of work to do so she'll be in shape again. I know she's depressed. Believe me that place is so depressing. I went to see her every day since this happened. She would light up when I got there. Thankfully she has another friend that comes every day also. In the summertime we swim three days a week. Does anyone have suggestions for me to get her more motivated? Anything would be helpful. I need to get her out of the funk she's in. She gets to go home tomorrow. Oh she’ll have PT right away at home. Three times a week. Thanks to anyone reading while I rambled.

For the last five years I have a CT Scan done of my lungs every November. I have a very small nodule that they have been watching. I had it done two weeks ago and doctor said its worrisome. It changed in size. Something it's never done. He said first of all he wants an echocardiogram of my heart to be sure it's strong enough for a procedure to be done. They need a biopsy from my lung. They go down your throat and into the lung with a robot device. Sounded interesting but I'm really scared. You see I'm on oxygen 24 hours a day. He said they would watch me like a hawk and they do this surgery a lot. I'm nervous but I trust him. My daughter told me she doesn't want me to do it because she thinks something will happen to me. But the doctor said I really need the biopsy. Just writing this out, has helped. I think I'll do it if my heart doctor says it's a go. Hubby says he trusts the doctor also. It won't be till later after Christmas. I don't want to worry anyone over the holidays. Oh, by the way, I'm 73 years old if that matters. 😁❤️
