Tuesday Followup

Mom's home.

Dad's tired.

Though it turns out that the only day he missed his excercise was yesterday. Dr. Musselman listened to his heart and lungs and pronounced him doing great. The pain he felt in his shoulder/chest was normal as his body recovers and nerves wake up.Dr. Platt came by, did the same and said "Two weeks after they let you go. Don't forget." He said the same thing, hmm, has it been two weeks already? Maybe so!

He dreads falling asleep too early because he doesn't want to wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to get back to sleep on the nightmare bed from hell. He's starting to sound like Sam Magee. The good news is that hs therapists are talking like he'll be going home. His Committee conferences tomorrow! We'll know more then.

While I was there, Dr. Kirkpatrick stuck his head in the door. He was walking down the hall to check on another patient, saw Waddington on the door and figured he knew who it was. Of course he asked about Mom and was glad to hear treatments are moving along with Timmerman. Nice of him to drop in. (We'll know if it was social if we don't see a billing for today's date!)

Mom did get a hold of Tammi at Senior Services (or whatever they're called) and they're sending someone out first thing in the morning to get the apartment set up for Dad's return.

That's all for now! Time for dinner.
