Polly called yesterday to give us an update. Her doctor planned to visit her yesterday and most likely release her from the neck brace, but he cancelled due to weather where he is and where she is and rescheduled her appointment for MARCH 20th!!! She was not thrilled with this delayed date.
Polly stated he has been conservative all along while treating her, so in the long run this is probably for the best, but a long wait too. She said she will continue with speech therapy and physical therapy. She walks very well with the walker and a cane, no problems at all. For the most part she is able to take care of herself, but she is not supposed to bend over, so she cannot tie her own shoes yet. Polly said to thank others for the cards that have been sent; she appreciates them.
Cards and well wishes may be sent to Polly at the following address:
