Like my own mother, it has taken 86 year old Bird a trip and fall and the consequent fractured leg to get her to Atlanta and assisted living, I hope, at Budd Terrace, just a few blocks from me and very near JAP........I'm so happy for her! Yea!
And, news of today: Bird is actually exercising, or so she claims....at least.......she is, nevertheless, sitting up and prepared to journey in a walker, as soon as that is possible, to avoid the indignity of having her "diaper" changed by another or the debilitating effects of remaining on her back, sleeping most of the time.......Today, she was witty, more alert and has an optimistic tone to her peculiar Atlanta accent......She has expressed a willingness to begin a new staging of her mature years at Wesley Woods......It is a great place, for I had several customers and friends who lived there quite contentedly until their demises....Keep it simple, Bird.....and she hasn't smoked in 10 days.........whooray! At least a dash for the finish line rather than a hapless decline into oblivion.
