40 min run on the treadmill
weights:  chest and shoulders

Went to register for 8K; apparently website was wrong.  Will try again tomorrow or worst case will be race morning.  I did get to see some of AM's wonderful, wonderful paintings as she was having a showing at Finish Strong, so that was way cool...plus I got to visit for just a bit before having to head to Kingwood.

Drove to hospital.

They moved mom to the rehab wing today...not sure if she is ready but we'll find out.  Rehab/PT starts tomorrow.  Good news is that she CAN drink regular liquids IF she does it a certain way, which is to put her chin close down to her chest before she begins to swallow and then she has to swallow really hard and almost will the liquid to go in and DOWN the right way, so as not to have her begin choking :(  Bad news is she is no longer in a private room and she is not happy about that...however her 'roommate' who has been in there for 3 months is leaving tomorrow.  Thank goodness...she had tons of visitors coming and going and they all talked at once and very loudly.  No one is allowed to spend the night, which doesnt make my sister happy, but I think its a good thing.  This way mom will not become even MORE dependant on someone than she already is...
