Dad is doing really well today. Still has relatively low pain. They got him up and set him on the side of the bed and have done some movement with his leg. They have been able to get his knee to a 70 percent bend. They want it to be at a 90 percent bend before they release him. It looks like that will be either on Sunday or Monday. He will be going to Thatcher Brook Care and Rehabilitation Center for a couple of weeks.
(Don't worry--this is not the nursing home he has been building up points for with his awnry behavior. For those of you who don't get this joke, the three of us girls have been giving him nursing home points for years any time we thought he was a little awnry with us. We gave him a ceiling of 1,000 points when we started and told him if he didn't behave when he was old and feeble he would have to go to a nursing home instead of live with us. He blew the thousand points the first day! We have to keep starting over! Gee, we must love our Dad!)
Anyway, Thatcher Brook is a terrific new facility that does only rehab. Once he gets there I will I will post some pictures and you can see how good he has it!
If any of you want the address for the facility it is below. Also, in the meantime you are welcome to call his hospital room. He is alert today and up to chatting. The direct number to his room is 801-268-7574 and the room number again is 5W14 if you need it. That's all for now. More later.
