As Day Forty-Four ends, I spoke to one of the senior executives of the entire Health Sciences Center. They said that one or more staff of the H.S.C. felt discomfort that their name was written on these updates and for privacy reasons I am prohibited to write the names of any Health Sciences Center staff. After some thought I quickly realized I have made a terrible mistake and my actions are 100% wrong. I was consciously writing only first names and thought it was acceptable but that only proves how immature I am in the grand scheme of life. I want to sincerely apologize to all staff from Health Sciences Center for invading your privacy and I hope for any ounce of forgiveness. I am 100% wrong in my actions and just knowing I was a reason for anxiety or discomfort for the very people that tirelessly work towards helping Jenny recover makes me feel like a criminal and I am beyond remorseful. This is the first time I have written in the public domain but that does not excuse my actions. As an adult I should have known better from the beginning and I feel ashamed for not being mindful enough. Once again I sincerely apologize to all staff of the Health Sciences Center for my lack of competence and though I have learned my lesson it does not come close to making amends. I will now refer to any hospital staff from their titles only.
Today, Jenny worked with the Physiotherapy team and they told me she is making notable progress and there was so much progress that they are going to visit again tomorrow to determine if she is ready to advance to the next step of rehabilitation.
Jenny was trying to remember her home address this evening. She mixed up her work address as her home address and insisted she lived where she worked. Throughout the rest of evening she kept trying to escape her hospital bed saying she needs to go back to work. I had to keep careful watch to prevent her from injuring herself while I assured her over and over again that her only job right now is to focus on recovery.
Lastly, the Speech & Language Pathologist team visited and after testing they promoted Jenny past the clear liquids only stage. They even advanced her above the thick liquids stage and instead upgraded Jenny to a “Standard Texture Diet” meaning Jenny can eat normal food under careful supervision. This means tomorrow will be the first time I can have a meal together with Jenny since the accident.
