I was trying to be subtle because I did not want to generate the negative energy, but now I will make my point.PurpleKoosh wrote:I was thinking laptop because I suspect it will be some weeks (if not months) before Fishy is actually back in her home, and I don't know that a convalescent facility would have the space in which to set up a desktop system.
Small valuable items in a convalescent facility tend to grow legs. Extreme care must be taken not to add to her frustration level, it will be high enough to begin with. I would also expect that a good convalescent facility could provide some kind of internet access as the intent is to go through rehab as fast as possible and get them doing normal activities.
Also, looking at the bigger picture, her home is going to need a major remodel. Long term, a desktop will be better and more cost effective, and any additional funds could get the remodel started, and just possibly accelerate her return home.
Edit add:
It looks like Mozy was posting while I was typing. From the description of her home, the remodel just grew in priority. I have seen ramps for two or three steps, but 6 or 8 steps is a bit much. I fully agree with Mozy, a computer might be nice but mobility is key.
