Thursday afternoon Vickie kept her Dr. appointment. The purpose of the visit was to address some new problems and some ongoing ones.
She had x-rays to examine an injury to her left elbow and to check for the cause of some respiratory issues.
Vickie tolerated all the exams well and returned to her residence early in the evening.

After a visit to the Dr.'s office for her monthly vitamin shot Vickie went to the local pizza house to celebrate her birthday with family. She stayed alert, enjoyed pizza and some of her birthday cake.

When Vickie was asked if she knew the name of the song starting on the 70's rock station her radio was tuned to, she responded by silently mouthing the beginning lyrics, a few seconds before they were played on the radio. Sometimes she remembers details from forty years ago, but very little of what has happened since.

Vickie's condition has not improved this week.
