Happy Valentine's Day! What a day, Marion walked and walked! They joked at the hospital that I was a slave driver, but the truth was that Marion just wanted to keep walking after every meal and nap. I was the one that wanted the rest periods!
I took Marion his cell phone 2 days ago, that might have been a mistake. The calls started at 8:30am this morning. How soon was I going to be there? As you can imagine, staffing is never overdone, and it always seems short on weekends, especially when there are no therapy's working as well. After he called again at 9am and 9:30, I realized that Sunday was going to be spent at the hospital as well. But I have to admit, that Marion, as well as the nurses, do appreciate the time spent with him. As he gains control back, and has all the tubes gone, it does help to have a family member available (on short notice) to give him a hand. He has no privileges in terms of getting out of bed, or moving around, out of a chair or with a walker by himself. That will come in Rehab. The 2 falls have everyone very gun shy about him falling again, and possibly injuring himself.
Karen and her family have been battling "bugs", so they are not visiting and sharing them with
us. Jim came today and we three spent some nice time together.
Tuesday morning the doctor for Renown Rehab meets with the staff at Tahoe-Pacific and the final decision is made determining where Marion goes when he is discharged that day. The Rehab choice is Renown, so hold a good thought for us. Thank you for your prayers on Marion's behalf. Love, Sue
