Sam's second day at Park Terrace. She is still getting adjusted to her new surroundings, other patients and staff, not to mention the three other people in her room. She was having a good day despite the fact that she did not feel well, and told me so. After I moved her back into her room from the hallway (where the aids had put her in the morning...with some of the other residents), the aids then put her back into bed via the airlift device (which Sam hates) and then she eventually relaxed and regained her normal temperature. She then told me "I'm feeling better now" which meant a lot. Wendy and I talked a bit with her, she recognized Blondie on the radio and made fun of some really bad music on the radio as well. The nurse came in following up from earlier and gave her a mild sedative and shortly thereafter, Sam went to sleep.
