Rose has no plans to update via blog, asking you to call her instead. And she will certainly be more up to date than I will on her condition, so.... call her! :)Over and out.

I have been dealing with a separate family emergency, and have been away from internet for a few days.In brief: Rose came home yesterday, slept in her OWN BED last night, is very glad to be out of rehab. She will continue with physical therapy and the like a few days a week, but is already tearing around her apartment with her walker. You can reach her on her cell phone. I will continue to post

Saw Rose twice today, and she's really starting to come back. She had lots of PT, some of which I witnessed. Walking in a stragiht line with a walker, turning, practicing taking a step up and down, lots of muscle exercises, etc. She's not enamored of the hospital food, but gosh, that's a shocker, because which of us doesn't love hospital food? ;PShe is now open to seeing visitors. Later in the

Because I've been unable to speak to Rose for the last day and a half. She's pretty busy with therapy, and when she's not busy, she's sleeping!I did get some info through Torre: Rose was moved into rehab Thursday night. She's still very worn out, but they are continuing with a vigorous schedule of PT and OT.I will be down in Baltimore for much of the weekend, so I should have a better update

Rose is still in a fair amount of pain, but it's getting better. She had more PT and OT today. And the best news is, it looks like she may be headed to rehab later this evening.She's worn out, but happy, and loves her floor nurses. I have passed along all comments from well-wishers.I also just now realized I don't know which hip it is. We'll try to get that nailed down later....

Catching up on yesterday: Rosemary had PT and OT early in the day as planned. There were some of the typical scheduling glitches (breakfast arrived just as she was about to go to PT), but mostly all was good. She's in a fair amount of pain still, and has lost a lot of strength in her legs. Exercises she was doing before the surgery (such as leg lifts) are far more difficult now. Her voice is also
