I am visiting Julia this afternoon and she is craving Chinese Food. Is she in the Olympic spirit or what? She is still dizzy and tired, but doing very well. She slept 5 hours last night with the help of a sleeping pill. She is trying not to rest during the day, so she can sleep through the night (with the help another of a sleeping pill).
We were visited by a representative from the Herrick Rehab center. They are hoping to move Julia to the Herrick Campus on Friday afternoon. From what was described, Julia will be very busy with Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Physical Therapy for 4-6 hours a day. Herrick has 4 Neuro-therapists on staff, described as psychotherapists with a speciality in brain injury. Julia is excited about having access to the Berkeley Y for swimming during PT. Alissa and I will need to go to Horton street and pack her a suitcase for her time at Herrick. We won't forget the bathing suit.
Julia is ready to be "well", which means like she was before. Because, you know, she's only 63.

It's been a long time! I just wanted to send my best thoughts and prayers and tell you that I have been keeping an eye on your progress. It's good to see that you still have a taste for good food! Your recipe for Apple Pancakes lives on in my house to this day! Gaylen has been keeping me up to date on the family. I would love to get your address so I could send a much belated note. Wishing you all the best in your recovery. You and your family always remain close to my heart. Take care and continue to kick the crap out of this thing!
Much Love,
Cesar & the rest of the Rivas Family
Wow... still stunned by the overall news, so Chris and I keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We had a great experience at Alta Bates, but the Chinese Food there, not so much. SO, if you need someone to schlep, we are glad to.
Yahoo posted a story today about healthy chinese food, so you might be on to something?
Cheers,
Randy & Chris - Terraces 404
To my wonderful Julia .....
Don't ever lose your fantastic spunk! I'm flying to Minneapolis today to spend a few days with Mom .... and hope that by the time I return next week you'll be ready for company, and maybe some home cooked food! I'm on the blog constantly and hope that all goes swimmingly with your move into therapy. With big hugs, Maryellen
