Weekend Update

Did you like the "movie" (below)? I thought it was a riot. Hopefully dad will like it. :)

Dad had a good weekend. Mom has been busy beginning to make arrangements for his arrival home next weekend. Like I mentioned before, his out-patient therapy will commence daily. He will need someone to help him at home and provide transportation to his appointments while mom is at work. This means that they will be hiring a home healthcare provider. It's a lot of information to sift through, but mom has done a good job seeking out the best options for dad. And, importantly, he seems receptive to this continued care once he is home. Mom's already dealing with insurance chaos, but so far it seems to be under control. (I think that sentence is completely contradictory...)

I'm going to make an attempt to get plugged into some of the support groups here in Dallas. Grey Matters, a group that holds meetings all over the country, meets in the Dallas area at another Health South Rehab hospital, just like where dad is in AZ. Mom and Jen attended a Grey Matters meeting last month in Phoenix, at the neuro hospital where dad was treated. I think it's therapeutic for us all to be involved in these groups.
