On April 23 Dad was discharged from the hospital to a Skilled Nursing Facility to continue with physical therapy and 7 more radiation treatments. When that finishes, I will bring him home or before if necessary. He so badly wanted to come home now that he was pretty sad as we transferred him from the hospital.
Watching him walk a few steps in physical therapy and knowing the pain it was causing has planted some doubt in my mind. It is best if he could be up even for short periods to prevent the complications that come from being bedridden.
Combine that with the sadness of adjusting to a new facility and not coming home made for a rough night, at least for me and I suspect for Dad. It was 8:30PM before he was tucked in for the night at the facility. That was last night. I have not been over to see him yet this morning.
I suspect he will adjust as he gets to know the nurses and people there. It is only short term and the next step to coming home.
Continued prayers are appreciated. Lots of wisdom, strength and peace in the midst of the storm needed.
