    Visit to Rehab Center

    Last week my mother had her hip replaced. She is now in a Rehab Center where they do the therapy. (She is doing quite well. Already walking briskly with her walker.)

    Yesterday my father and I went to visit her and took along their dog, KC.



    He was so excited. When we arrived and were signing in he was making a noise as he stained at his leash. The women behind the desk couldn't see him and thought we had brought a pet pig!

    He loved everyone and everyone loved him. He had to jump up on and say hello to all the staff (and patients too!)

    It was so successful my dad will be taking KC along every day when he goes to visit!

    It was great to see a place that allows pet visits.

    How wonderful. I suspect your mom will heal that much faster with such a cute cheering section's support!

    {{{hugs}}} Glad she's progressing well.

    That's great that she's in a place that allows pets! She must have been so happy to see him, and it must have lifted everybody's spirits.

    That is very cool they allow animals, I just know it helps people heal faster.

    I'm glad your mom is getting better, already zooming around with her walker.

    best wishes to your mother, for a fast recovery!

    I bet the other patients will be sad to see the doggie stop visiting!

    I have heard of programs like that, where people take dogs to places like that and the sick people just love it, it helps them alot!

    Prayers coming across cyberspace for a speedy recovery Mom.

    KC, you are so special and very handsome. I believe there have been studies made on patients that have regular pet visits. It's definitely a good thing!! (as Martha says...)
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    KC looks like a real sweetie!! I'm glad to hear your mom is doing well, and how wonderful that KC could come and visit. I'm sure it really will help your mom to see KC every day!!

    Great news on your Mum Sara - so pleased her progress is going so well.

    Isn't lovely to find somewhere that ALLOWS animals in? And with KC being such a sweetheart, who could refuse those gorgeous eyes!?

    We have some homes for aged people here that encourage people with dogs and cats - that are friendly - to visit. And now some are keeping their own cats. Much more like a home I reckon.

    I am glad your mom is feeling better. I bet she'll recover in a matter of days if KC will visit her more often
