I'd like to share more about our aunt Betty's "healthcare journey" but I don't like the way CaringBridge is set up now. It changed a lot since I set up a site for Mom & Dad a few years ago. So I'll start sharing some things here.
On Tuesday, April 29, Karen, Lisa, Peter, Leah, Toni, and I helped her move from her Realife condominium to an assisted living apartment at EagleCrest. EagleCrest is four blocks from where Toni and I live.
She was doing quite well at EagleCrest until she fell a little more than a week later. Nursing staff found that she had fallen when they came to her apartment with her morning medications on Thursday, May 8.
She was brought by ambulance to Unity Hospital in Fridley, and then transferred by ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids. She was found to have a broken left leg (femur), which was surgically repaired, and a broken left arm (humerus) which is slowly healing on its own.
Since the evening of May 13, almost 3 weeks ago now, she has been slowly recovering from her fall at Benedictine Living Community in New Brighton, having daily physical and occupational therapy. I'm hoping to get her back to EagleCrest soon.
