GG UPDATE

GG is now living in an assisted care home in Walnut Creek. It's in a residential neighborhood and has only five or six residents and when I was there the staff was the manager, the cook and two care takers. She has her own room which is quite large and she now has her own furniture again. She is walking with a walker and still having therapy. She already has her eye on a retired Colonel who is also a resident there. She just move in tuesday so we'll see how it goes. It is a residence converted to a home so it feels more like home. She seemed quite content when I visited but I'm going by again today to see how she's doing now after a couple of days. If you want to visit her address is 1516 Castle Hill Rd in Walnut Creek 94595. You take the south Main exit off of 680 and turn right and then right on Castle Rd and its the first driveway on the right. You almost don't see it because it has tall hedges around the front. There is a button on the gate to the yard that will ring a bell for someone to let you in. They discourage visitors in the early morning 6-8 and evening 6-830. When the weather is good she will be able to go out to the yard where they have tables and chairs and get some fresh air. She goes to the doctor on December 1 to have her wrists checked and hopefully have the splints removed. Her life should become much easier once these are removed. For those of you who live far away and can't visit I know she would love cards, letters and pictures.
