[Magdalen] Mom update (Elicits "Whew!").

[Marion Thompson]

A great relief all round, I'd say.

No damage, not hurt, but it did require staff hauling ass upstairs to help her up and give her a once-over.  Staff basically immediately decided, and Kenneth concurred (me too), that it's now time for assisted living permanently.  She seems in good spirits about it, exec dir says (we'll see what kind of email I get about it later!), and indeed it really is a deal worth the money she pays for it.  Her new apartment will be about 200 sq ft smaller, with a kitchenette minus cooking facilities (three cafeteria meals a day for her now), but otherwise something very similar to what she'd had all along.  And of course all the "wellness care" that comes with the new environment.  She's apparently still able to walk without assistance, but apparently splits the difference between that and using her walker.
