Rough day yesterday - all the sudden Dad was resisting the transition to the rehab facility. He ended up moving early last night, but he was not happy about it. Fortunately he did have a pretty good night re: pain/pain meds and was able to get some sleep. He's been having more pain in his right arm and leg, which doctors feel is a result of the bedside therapy. The rehab center is going to make him work hard and it will be painful and tiring, but a necessary step to gain some mobility to make things easier at home. It's anticipated he will be at the rehab facility for the next week to 10 days, but all depends on his progress.
He could really use some visitors to help him stay positive and motivated, but he will be tired with the intense therapy, short visits are perfect. His therapy schedule will be changing daily too, so give Mom a call before you visit to make sure he won't be in therapy. She was able to stay after all, so she will be there...

Thanks for the continued support - he could really use some extra positive reinforcement this week.
