After a spate of false starts, Susan finally was transferred to a skilled nursing and rehab hospital late yesterday. It’s called Broadway by the Sea, located at 2725 E Broadway in Long Beach (between Redondo and Cherry). Susan is in Room 33. The five or so other hospitals we tried were at capacity for patients with acute needs, had no available bed, lacked a contract with our health insurance company, or had an undesirable reputation. With several additional days at UCLA to work the process, accomplishing the next step is a huge relief. We are most eager for her to begin her therapy so she can gain strength and return home. Yesterday was Susan’s birthday, an unusual one under the circumstances. She ended the day getting settled in her new location and being surrounded by family, cards and flowers. She even enjoyed a slice of fresh peach pie. Life is a gift.
