Now that we're out of critical care, perhaps we do not have to count days anymore. We'll just have some titles that may give some context around what has been going on.
Today was Dad's first full day in the rehabilitation unit. By the time Mom and Skeeter stopped by to visit him in the early afternoon (we're not allowed to visit until after 3 p.m.), he was tuckered out! I think Mom said he was back in or on the bed. This was to be expected, as rehabilitation is apparently not a cakewalk!
He eventually drifted off to sleep, and the staff eventually stopped by to wake him up for dinner. Mom said they got him in a wheelchair and off to the dining room they went. But it was apparent he was either too tired or just not up for minced turkey anymore. She said he repeated the word "Honey" and pushed away from the table only after some slight interest in the Jell-o. So Mom wheeled him back to the room and someone helped him get back in the bed.
Tomorrow, he will have an opportunity to take a shower in his bathroom. That will certainly be a treat to really get clean!
