If all goes according to plan, today was the last day mom would be visiting Mount Carmel for rehab. It's hard to believe that it has been only since the middle of May that we even heard of this place. Also, sitting downstairs in the physical therapy area, it is strange to think that mom used to actually live in this place.
Mom expressed her gratitude to her therapists, but we booked it out of there very quickly. There isn't much more to tell, but I thought you might be interested in the last few pics and videos I shot.
This first one was just a grassy excursion - one more time - to give Kelly, her therapist, some piece of mind that mom will once again be able to scamper away into the woods.
Then, in this next one, you can see her making mom trudge up the biggest hill in the place. Sisyphus would be proud.
This last video is just a bit more proof that mom is on her way back to climbing down long flights of stairs like she never, ever has to do.
A few parting pictures:
The window on the second level next to the balcony was mom's room. Now it is someone else's room and let's pray they did not see me taking pictures of it. I am not a stalker of the elderly.
The steamy back patio.
The stairway from heaven. Or to hell. Or just from some storage room down to the occupational therapy area. Either way, it's a lot of steps.
Speaking of OT, here's a final panoramic shot of the OT room. It's janky and crowded, but mom made a lot of progress in here.
Coming soon...Rehab Part II: The Day Institute!
