Sent you a heart because I feel for you.'
I visited a friend who was in a nursing home after she had her leg amputated. The smell was awful. On some floors it was worse than others. There were some dementia patients but many were mentally sound. Like my friend, they needed PT to get over an injury, amputation, or similar issue.

Do you have access to a rec room?
