For some reason the eye drops have been causing what dad calls a burning and stabbing pain. So another quick trip to the eye guy to check on it. He says its fine, but somehow there is a tiny scratch on dads eye. It’s OK, something normal and will heal without any consequences or ramifications, but there will continue to be the “ouchy” feeling until it heals a bit more. So dad, like a trooper is working through it. During dad’s rehab therapy today, many comments were made about how many hurdles he has jumped over in the last week alone. It looks like the time will be coming up soon for Dad to make the transition from the rehab wing in the hospital to the less than hospital grade rehab facilities at home. Excitement and fear exude from that thought. It will be good to have dad finally home after such a long battle, but this is when the rubber will really hit the road. The journey of recovery is by no stretch over. In fact, it’s just starting.

I used to work in a place that was short and long term care. Also, there are physical rehab. hospitals similar to a short/long term care facility; but focused greatly on accident/surgical patients. I think you might look into something as a buffer between the hospital and home! Insurance will most likely cover a lot of it! Also, these facilities have different grades of care. Although I do know that he has wanted to go home for quite some time now.................... ;-)
