Marese update for 9/21
Marese continues to improve and was supposed to be moved to Spaulding Rehab in Sandwich today. There was some screwup by the insurance company that prevented that from happening. Rest assured that Cigna will be getting a liberal dose of my special brand of attention tomorrow. Today I was comparatively gentle when I told them that “I want to state in the most emphatic possible terms that I want this roadblock to be removed … NOW”.
Apparently everything is resolved for a move tomorrow(9/22).
I didn’t get into Tufts today but spoke to Marese several times by phone with the kids. My friend Dr. Dave, Sharon, Naz, and Moira(sp?) did visit. Dave thinks that she is doing great – particularly the mental acuity. That is to me – the most important thing by far. She sounded kind of down today – I think the delayed move to rehab, the pain, and the time away from home are starting to take their toll. She’s been told that rehab could run a week but that varies depending on who you talk to.
The kids are holding up well. I think they are happy with the obvious improvement and the pending move to rehab.

OMG. Please let us know if you need any help on the homefront/dogfront. We wish Marese a speedy recovery and knowing that she is so healthy, that will surely be beneficial. If you want to make her laugh, please let her know that if the hedgehog could talk, it would probably thank her from the bottom of his heart…a bit “wind in the willows” like, I know. Perhaps she could read that book while she rests, it will bring her spirits up. -Moose & Shamus
