My sister is finally out from under the care of various medical facilities ~ Yale New Haven Hospital and Branford Hills Convalescent Care Center ~ where she has been for FOUR months. She took a completely innocent trip to Guilford, CT to celebrate granddaughter Ruby's 4th birthday and ended up in the ICU at Yale. This is not unheard of; she often pays an emergency visit to that fine establishment when she is visiting. But this has been a particularly grim stay entailing some bad surgery (amputation of toes and a femoral bypass "procedure") plus a long, drawn out rehabilitation therapy. She was at Yale for three months, at Branford for one month. But on Wednesday the assorted medics gave her the green light to return to her daughter's home for two weeks of out-patient therapy. Vic and Tom have made their return reservations for Sunday, August 2. They have been away for almost five months. They were planning to be gone for three weeks. The plants have probably died and the milk has definitely soured. But who cares. I am hugely relieved that she has made a good recovery and will be back in time to receive me as a visitor for a few days. We did not stop there on our way back from Mexico so it has been 9 months since I have seen her. Too long. We will drive down a week after they get home. That's time enough to get new plants and fresh food, don't 'ch think?
