As Day Thirty-Four ends, Jenny’s vitals are finally back to normal across the board including her blood pressure. I was called early in the morning by Gloria, one the nurses regularly assigned to Jenny and she told me Jenny was about to be put in a wheelchair to get her out of bed for awhile. This would be the first time Jenny would be in a wheelchair and be able to move around. I immediately dropped everything and headed towards the hospital but when I got to the parkade it was so packed that it took me longer to find a parking spot than it took to actually drive there. After I found a spot I ran to the hospital and as I entered her wing I was hoping to see her being wheeled around down the halls but I did not see her. As I approached her room, I heard someone talking. I was so excited to see her in a wheelchair but when I did finally see her, she was sleeping in bed. I was told after a few minutes in the wheelchair she said she felt tired and wanted to lie down. I was a bit disappointed I didn’t get to see her and have a chance to push her around but I know it’ll happen again one day. I didn’t want to wake her up so I waited to see if she woke up naturally but she did not so I left and came back again in the evening. When I saw her again she was awake so I excitedly asked

“Do you remember me?” but to my surprise she responded

“No.”

so I asked again to confirm

“Do you remember me?”

“No.”

I then took out some photos of us together and showed them to her hoping for a positive response,

“Do you remember who this is?”

“No.”

This was a shock since she remembered my name for the first time only yesterday but today she did not even recognize me at all. I then remembered being told that with T.B.I. (Traumatic Brain Injury) her memory will go in and out but I didn’t expect it like this.
