Terrie's been moved over the weekend to Mabie Northside, the skilled nursing facility across the street from Hazel Hawkins Hospital. As she had been given no morphine, when I saw her yesterday she was alert and very bored. She'd love to have you visit! Someone (James?) thoughtfully brought her a large word finder puzzle book -- these are easier to do than crossword puzzles, but will help keep the brain active. She has a deck of playing cards to play Solitaire, but she says she can't do that anymore. I think she can't manage the cards, as they're slippery.
While we were there the staff tried to insert a shunt into her arm so that she could receive a morphine drip intravenously, one that she could control herself. When the hospital staff administered the morphine, Terrie would fade in and out while we were talking with her; but if she wasn't receiving the morphine drip she was lucid and alert.
God bless you all!
Under HIs mercy,
--Marty
