OK, so, I've had several requests for info regarding that last Headline Wording...

Gma has had some times of forgetfulness and confusion. 

Last Friday I had to tell her, about 10 times throughout the day, that it was Friday.

Other times she has had an almost childlike understanding of things around her, not understanding the deeper meanings of the conversation.

Then at other times she is still 'hip and with it'...  Still here....

So, we are taking it day by day -- and enjoying everything that we can...

Physically, the tumor site has not opened yet, as some of the nurses have thought that it might have already.

She can still get herself out of bed and out of her chair, though I have been having to help her out of her chair more and more.  

She still gets to the bathroom by herself, though sometimes with much effort (trying to get off the bed, into a standing position).  

She is grateful for the "Fancy Pants" and she gets to do what she calls 'The Fancy Pants Dance' in getting them on.

She is very careful with her walker and goes very slowly, making sure that she doesn't fall.
