cherish it while she is ambulatory.

You know all this time the hospital, then the nursing home, my brother when he flew in from overseas, my kids and I we have been telling her she has to move, she has to start working on it, but for some reason, she got into this I am victim, I am very ill mentality, she did not even try and would get hysterical and accused the staff at the nursing home of torture.
She just wanted to lie there and was feeling sorry for herself and got very angry saying that I should feel sorry for her, instead of scolding her. It's been like "huh?".

Now her feet, and I suspect her one knee has contracture - it will take months until they are streched enough for her to be able to practice standing and walking. It is sooo true, that we create our own illnesses in our head.
