WINNEMUCCA - The good news? My friend from the October article who had to leave our community because our local facility could not accept her, did not have to go to Fallon. Instead room was found for her in the Lovelock nursing home. Two hours less driving round trip allow me more time with her on my weekend visits. I must tell you, she is adjusting far better than am I to this change. She has proudly shown me her "apartment" and given me the grand tour of her new complex. I have met some of her friends including a hairstylist who comes in once or twice a week to shampoo and trim hair and even offers perms for those in need.
