While she is physically doing very well, she still struggling with situation you or I might find to be easy. This weekend, we went for a very brief shopping excursion, I could see from her drawn expression that she was tired and ready to leave, shortly after arriving. Plus, having two kids along makes most shopping trips exhausting!
Decision making takes a little longer and I think that is one reason it's easier to stay home, fewer distractions and decisions to make (what to buy, which isle to walk down, etc).
Today's therapy session was from 7:45-10am. Another reason morning are tough- they start too early! We were up before the sun. 
While she worked on balance, strength and irritating her physical therapist ( so she said), Daniel and I keep busy. It's too far of a drive to go home. Today we grabbed pancakes, browsed the toy section at Walmart, and played outside the hospital. 
Tuesday Kathie will be home alone for an extended period of time. Julia has a field trip and Daniel and I are going along. She's been doing the stairs alone, with someone near by. She's agreed to not use them while we are away. Tomorrow is her night to cook. She mentioned doing prep work, while we are gone. I told her if she burns the house down, I'm putting her in a home...
She laughed.
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to Kathie's recovery!
