OK, here we go again. I received an email last night from Diane. She said that her Mother is at home. She convinced the doctor that she was OK to go home on Friday rather than having to wait until Monday. So Pat is home now, but Diane asked if some of us could get together to send Pat a daily meal. Sandy mentioned that Pat really likes salads, so that is something that is good and easy. We have our upcoming meeting this Wednesday, November 14, so maybe we can make a calendar list of "Meals for Pat"!

November 9, 2012Last night I received an email from Diane, Pat's daughter, and she informed me that Pat is going to be released from Gulf Pointe Plaza on Monday, November 12, 2012. Terry and I are going over to pick her up and take her home. Her ability to get around for a while will be difficult, so I was thinking that maybe some of us can get together and arrange to have a daily meal delivered to her and Ruff, probably lunch. If you might be interested, please let me know. I will keep everyone informed.

We surprised Pat on her birthday! She totally enjoyed her party. Pat's daughter Diane said the folloing:
The Birthday Party yall had for her meant more to her than you could ever know. She was overwhelmed. I Thank You for that. That was the second birthday party she can ever remember having. Yall are awesome!!!

Latest Update on Pat!
Saturday, October 20, 2012
Pat's birthday is this coming Monday, October 22. Is anyone interested in going over with me to give her a small birthday celebration? Let me know, OK?
OK, after some discussion,
we decided to go wish Pat a Happy Birthday on Monday around 1:00 p.m. We will
have pumpkin pie cheesecake from Trader Joe's and some herbal iced tea
too!
I called Pat this morning. She seems to be in good
spirits overall. She has physical therapy every morning except for Saturday and
Sunday. She would love to see friends. So if you have a little free time, stop
by to visit with her. She doesn't have a phone in her room, but you can
call the front desk and leave a message.
She is still concerned about her garden and knows that she can no longer
work in the garden. So she is still looking for someone to come over once a
week and mow her front yard, do needed weeding and watering. Let me or Pat
know if you can help.
OK Everyone! Here is the latest on Pat via emails below between Lois and me:
Friday, October 19, 2012 6:56 PM
Thank you Lois! I was in Houston
today, but I'm back home. I'm going to send this email out to everyone,
including me since I'm also guilty of not going to see Pat! Thank you for the
information!
OK like Lois said, Pat is at:
Gulf Pointe Plaza
Room 207
1008 Enterprise Boulevard
Rockport, TX 78382
Rockport, TX 78382
Lois said:
I went to see Pat today at Gulf Pointe Plaza room 207 She would REALLY enjoy a visit. It looks like she will be there for some time. Send out your best guilt producing email. It could be any of us there.

Hey Herbies!
Most of you probably already know about our member Pat Baugh being in the hospital with a broken pelvis. I'll post the emails that I sent out about Pat.
Email Friday, October 05, 2012 11:22 AM
Hello All!
I received a call this morning from Lois letting me know that Pat Baugh
fell and broke her pelvis while gardening in her backyard Wednesday
evening. She is in Spohn South Hospital, Room 308, phone number 361-985-5000.

I then called Pat and talked to her. She is in lots of pain and because of
where the break is located, surgery is not an option. She is supposed to start
physical therapy and will be using a walker. Pat is very concerned about her
gardens and will need help. There is no way that she will be able to continue
maintaining her beautiful yard. So if any of you that might know someone
looking for a gardening job, either let me know 361-729-6037 or Pat telephone number 361-729-9405.
I will keep everyone informed about Pat.

Hey Everyone!
Rockport Herb & Rose Study

And some information about Pat!
I called Ruff, Pat's hubby, just a
short while ago. He said that Pat is still in the hospital awaiting Dr. Hahn's
OK for her to transfer to Gulf Point. He said that Dr. Hahn has been busy and
hasn't signed any paperwork for Pat. I do know one of his nurses, so I might try
calling her to see if she can help. I also told him that I had two names for
potential gardeners for Pat thanks to Darlene Gooris and Ginger Smith. That
seemed to make him happy.
I then called Pat. She was having
physical therapy trying to learn to walk again. I told her that I would call her
back later today and check on her.
I'm really worried, because a
broken pelvis is no fun. I broke mine about 25 years ago while skiing. It took
over a year to finally heal, and I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and crutches
for 3 months. I really can sympathize with Pat because I know how much pain she
is experiencing.
I will keep everyone informed.
Thanks!
Linda a/k/a Herbie
