Sorry I have not updated on my Dad for a little while, we have been busy to say the least around here. So I went and saw him the other day and he seemed to be in a pretty good mood. It is a night and day difference to how much better he is walking and using his left arm and hand. He still has a ways to go but he is getting there much faster than anyone would of though of.
For the last few days my Mom has gone to see him, and he is getting grumpy. He wants to come home, me misses the grand kids a lot. I understand that, but for right now rehab is the best place for him. He is getting PT about three times a day, if he were to come home now he would get it maybe three times a week. Plus we would most likely end up having to drive him into town three times a week for PT, and that gas will add up. So we want to put it off as long as possible. Someone is trying to get into town everyday or every other day to see him. Most of the time we have things we need to do anyways. Like next week Ross will start Pre-School again so I will be in town two times a week and can visit with him while Ross is as school.
He has also been starting to want to smoke again. I'm sure most of that is boredom and not really having anything to do or think about to occupy his mind right now. He is reading the book that Eric sent him but once that one is done I guess we will have to find him another one to read or something else to do. Makes me wish I still had my DS for him to play :)
I'm sure most of you are calling him from time to time to see how he is doing. But maybe the next time you chat with him, keep him on the phone a little longer somehow. I know easier said than done with my Dad. :)
