As you are rounding your way past the beginning of my blog post today, what do you suppose is the intention of the phrase “Intentional Rounding”?
My intention is to round my way to showing you this sign I saw yesterday, after I was intentionally rounded out of the Intensive Care Unit four days after open heart surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota:
As I intentionally rounded corridors –slowly, but on my own two feet — around the cardiac units here, I intentionally rounded up these images on my iPhone camera:
Be cause people here be cool, be kind, be nice, be appreciative, and be respectful, they might be intentionally rounding me out of the hospital soon, so that my boyfriend Michael and I can be intentionally rounding back to our home in Boston.
How about a round of intentional applause for that possibility?
Thanks so much for intentionally rounding yourself here, today!
Glad to hear you’re on your feet. Love the round up of ducks.
Thanks for coming around!
Amazing progress. Congratulations to all concerned
Thanks for your intentionally kind comment, Derrick.
a round of applause to you Ann- keep it up!! Love those little ducks too 🙂
I love your supportive comments, Lisa!
Hip, Hip Horay!
Cheers back at you!
I see you have a red heart pillow. Mine is blue. I still have it. I have slept with it and held it through the night every evening since Mar 16, 2006.
People love their heart pillows, Carl. ❤
This is odd. I read the title and the flyer numerous times because it made no sense to me. Then, duh! I had kept reading the word international rather than intentional!
Hope they soon intentionally round out your diet, Ann.
Thank you for your intentional and international thoughts, Emilie.
Looks like you have a well rounded caring staff. I am sure you will be around for many years because of the well rounded care you received. We all send a round of applause to all your caregivers.
We are also happily looking forward to your next round of posting. :o)
A round of applause for this well-rounded comment!
When I saw the phrase “Intentional Rounding” I thought it referred to you intentionally rounding the corner toward health and being able to go home. I hope you’ll put check marks under “Done” for a few more heart health videos before you go.
As lovely as the view from your window looks–I expected the area surrounding the Mayo Clinic to be much less green–I hope you’ll be making the return part of your round trip soon.
Those meanings were all intentional, Chris. We may be rounding our way back home within the next two days. Time will tell.
A very well-rounded blog today, Ann! And your talk of going home sounds fantastic! I liked the angel with the wire wings, sweet and blessed, and you are too. Keep on healing, and all the best as you get ready to go home. ❤️❤️ 🍭🐝🌴😘
Thank you for this sweet comment, Sunny.
Wow! My eyes are rounded in aweI For you, your recovery, your care, your ability to walk on your own two feet already, your willingness to walk on your own two feet already. My eyes are rounded in awe for your team, the Mayo clinic, your photos.
Awesome, Louise! ❤
The ducks are the best, except for hearing you’re on your feet.
You’re the best, Gene!
I am so delighted to read this. I don’t know what all those things on your “to do” list are, but you sound very much on the mend.
Once you are allowed out if the hospital, can you go home by plane or do you have to stay in a hotel near the hospital?
We will probably stay in a hotel for a day or two and then wing our way home. Thanks for delighting in my progress.
Ann, if they offer both PT and OT in your plan of care, I would take it, but only if you´re up to it. A plan of care with both therapies sounds like a great plan, though, just my two cents. I highly respect both disciplines. 🌺
I am particularly so fond of OT Ann. ❤️
Good to know, Maria.
HOORAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Horraaayyyyy! It’s Alan!
I gave a little clap and said hell yes just so you know
Love your intentional little clap, Joanne. ❤
You’re doing well. I hope they think so too. Wow. Glad to see new pic’s from your phone!
I’m glad to see you!
