Bev continues to be frustrated at what she sees as the delays in allowing her to go home.  She continues to plan her escape.  I spoke to a doctor Tuesday to try and see what happens next for Bev.  She will not be put on a waiting list for a long term care rehab facility until the trachea tube is removed which could happen as soon as early next week.  He will look into having physiotherapy get Bev standing up on her feet. Eventually Bev's left arm will be operated on to correct or remove the loose screws. The doctor says the wait will not cause any more nerve damage than what may have already occurred.  Bev cannot move her left arm but can wiggle her fingers slightly.  Her left arm still causes her pain when moved.  The doctor is concerned that Bev's right eye may have sustained permanent damage, they are continuing to treat it. Physiotherapy is progressing, Bev is slowly re-gaining some use of her right arm and right leg but she still has a long way to go.  Her speech is improving, she has no problem carrying on a conversation using full sentences.  Bev does have some short term memory issues that will probably go away as her brain continues to heal.
