Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Today was Jenny's first full day of rehab. They worked her very hard of course, including two sessions of occupational therapy (daily stuff) and two sessions of physical therapy. She also had a psych therapy session. She was unsure about that, but was glad that he came after the fact. He was a Christian and shared a Bible verse with her (included above) She is dealing with a lot of anger and guilt which is very natural. He shared with her what she would be experiencing over the next few months. She recognizes that she has a lot to work through and is willing to have help.
As of 8:30 p.m., she was still waiting for the surgeon to come and fix the screw in her mouth.
Also, Melissa came today. They had their pictures taken together in their wheelchairs. They were able to sit outside in the sun for about half and hour and that felt good to her. She got to sign Melissa's cast, 'Whoops, my bad! Love, Jenny.' She was able laugh with her two good friends, Beki and Melissa. Jenny said her ribs really hurt now, but it was way worth it!
Finally, Jenny wants also to communicate that she would be alright with brief visits from close family and friends after 3:00. She mentioned that she still needs much rest, but a quick hello might be a good way for her to focus on something else.
Oh, and she wants you to know that liquid pasta, pureed meatloaf and liquid broccoli are never good decisions...
