Isabel called a few shots from behind the glass as she followed the Scotties' Tournament of Hearts with great interest this past weekend. The Canadian Women's Curling Championships were held in Regina over the last week. Several of the Wascana Staff were glad to catch a few minutes on Isabel's TV and to make a few bets with her on the outcome of the different games.
With Mum's increasing ability to move her left arm and index finger, she is able to spell more quickly on a small letter-number board. Mum reported the results of several ends of Sunday's final to another resident and his family in the solarium on Unit 2-6. This increasing dexterity is encouraging to Mum and her Speech/Language Pathologist who is assessing what electronic device can best help her communicate.
As we all contemplate Isabel's second month at Wascana, we note how she is capturing the hearts of her new staff. Mum's love of visitors, plans for recreational activities at Wascana, and good humour are appreciated among the fun-loving staff. Last Saturday night there was a call to a "Party in Isabel's Room" which led to a Charge Nurse inquiring "So just where are ALL the staff?".
Hanging out with Isabel.
Mum attended her first Wascana Birthday Party and Concert last Thursday evening, and will start to more fully participate in other activities in the next few weeks.
With grateful hearts and continued amazement at Mum's determination and positive attitude, we carry on....
