Hey folks, not a lot to report today. I thought Dad looked really good and he was alert and pretty content. He did have a small episode of nausea in the morning and some aches in his left leg, but overall, he is doing well and resting well there. Dad got a room mate today who will only be there for a week or so...he was in another room, but maybe he and dad were more suited for roommates or something, not sure why he was put in dad's room. He seemed to be a very nice man who is retired and living at The Woods Resort, he is just there for a short - term rehab stint. But I think it will be very good for dad and mom because it is company for them when there is no one visiting and also encouraging to dad because he can clearly see that this man is not a "nursing home" patient, but a rehab person like he is. And I think it will make mom feel better about when she leaves dad there, that he isn't alone at the end of that hall all by himself. She has been going there every day from 8am til 8:3opm. We are going to try to take some shifts with her so that it isn't her there all the time with dad. . . although she always says, "if I wasn't here, I wouldn't know what to do with myself without Shug." Point well taken, but we are going to at least try to get her to go to the kids games/activities some and maybe visit her sisters, if possible.
Tomorrow is the Blood Drive in honor of dad at The Living Room - our church that is located in the Berkeley Plaza. The drive is from 2pm to 7pm. . . there are over 50 appointments already, but they will also be taking walk-ins as well. . . the evening hours have most of the openings. Please come out and support this event - we are still going to try to bring dad out after therapy for a very short visit if he isn't too worn out from therapy tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you there if you can make it!
