We have been overwhelmed by the caring, loving response to Carol’s injuries. Neither she nor I will be able to respond individually accept our gratitude from the depths of our hearts for your love and well wishes. Note; the hospital has no volunteers moving about the floors to deliver flowers or even cards. As our Rving community knows there is no space whatsoever for flowers in the motorhome. Cards may be mailed to me at my son’s home, please email for the address, this is far to public a place for that information. If you like you could send a gift in Carol’s honor to Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (rpo.org) Temple B’rith Kodesh (tbk.org) or any other place of your choice. Or read a good book and pass it on!
Since my last post Carol has been moved from ICU to a “Step Down Unit” and just now we are told that she will be moving to a general medical unit as soon as a bed opens. Progress indeed. I’ll stop before I get into TMI.
We are looking into rehab facilities for post discharge. I fear that unlike the freedom I have had here to visit regularly, I will not be able to spend much time with her because of Covid 19 restrictions.
I am struggling a bit with the limited time for visitation, once a week for an hour “socially” distanced and no contact, only two people . But as a great wit said, “it is what it is”. Maybe by the time she makes that move things will have lightened up some. For now we are marking time waiting for healing and a bed in the next unit.
Good news about Carol’s progress. Hope you do get to visit when she is moved to rehab. xoxoxo
sending our love and wishes for speedy and complete healing
TMI might help Paul! Or maybe a flock of flamingos. Glad to hear of progress. Will rehab be long & arduous? Can Carol walk?
With all love, J&C
Tell Carol that I look forward to your next Rochester visit. I have reserved a seat at the kosher fancy restaurant that we went to the last time you were here — UR.
Tell Carol I will be waiting for her return to the park- all perky and happy and soooo- healing thoughts go out with this post and look forward to her blogs soon!!!
Ok our thoughts and love to you both through such a challenging time . You 2 got this 💗💗💗Bighugs, Jane& Dean
Thinking of you all & hoping for as pain-free a recovery as possible! Accompanied by lots of family company!!! XO
Thank you for your up dates.
Please give Carol my love and tell her I am constantly thinking about her. I wish her a speedy recovery!
We are happy to hear of Carol’s progress, Paul, and will keep on praying that it continues and accelerates. Sorry you are contemplating such limited togetherness. Can only imagine how hard that will be for two people who seem to do everything together, but your faith and love and the sturdiness so plainly visible in you both will no doubt carry you through one more of the many challenges you have already overcome. Love and blessings on you both… P&F
So happy to hear of her progress. Miss both of you mucho. Give her a kiss for us.
Good news on Carol’s progress! They will keep her busy in rehab. I know you will find a project to help you pass the “no visit” time, hard as it is. We send you love and hugs, Judy and Dave
Brother David told me about Carol’ severe injuries…. my heart goes out to you both.
Hope healing goes smoothly and ahead of schedule. XO Janet
Once again, all my best to Carol. You, too, Paul (I know what it’s like to be able to do nothing useful but sit and Love and wait.)
Can’t wait to see you both back in Rochester!
A little early, but Shana Tovah!
If and when you get to see her, please tell her that both Ron and I wish her a speedy recovery. I think of her often.
