I hope the inside and the care there are equally impressive.

And you must be feeling at least a little better if you are back in action with your beloved camera.

The care here is second to none. And everyone knows how to motivate you to your best effort!

My feelings about my status vary! Sometimes I'm optimistic, sometimes less so. I am getting stronger for sure.

These photos were taken with my ancient iPhoto11. I did a bit of post-processing of course.

Well, to be honest, I was out with my occupational therapist to walk around the patio and get some real exercise!

But of course I had my iPhone and I couldn't resist taking a few photos. These buildings surround the medical building where I'm getting my rehab. The last photo shows the entrance to our facility.

This is a beautiful area and I was quite glad to walk outside and really see it.

All these photos were taken with my iPhone 11. Minor post-processing.

Can't really say that I'm feeling more like myself, however. My balance, my ability to swallow super well, and my strength need work. I'm confident that I will accomplish these, and more, but it's going to take a lot of time and energy.

It sure isn't named after that creature! Bleah.

I am healing and getting stronger. But this will not be a quick recovery. We shall see.

Gorgeous, as usual, and the rehab building is impressive.

So glad you sent the photo of the plant, too!

You find beauty in everything you photograph.

and that your eye is as good as ever! huggggggs. Healing vibes continuing until your full recovery and healing.

I noticed the blue and yellow umbrellas and immediately thought of the Ukrainian flag, even if that was not their intention.
