Ear We Are!

Picked up Mom's hearing aid this morning and brought it to her. The doc couldn't find anything wrong with it when she took it apart and put it back together, but Mom said it wasn't working before and now it is, so all is well as far as I'm concerned...plus the "fix" was free, so double score! Also brought Dad the new issue of Perfect Vision magazine fresh from the mailbox so he's at least got some reading material to keep him busy when not in therapy, at meals or visiting with friends and family.

When I stopped by last night (a little later than usual), Mom was already fast asleep and Dad was in his room with headphones on doing a crossword puzzle. We chatted quietly for a little while so as not to wake his roommate Paul, then I bid him adieu for the evening. So he was surprised to see me this morning to say the least, and if nothing else, it's good to keep him confused.

Word has it among the physical therapy staff that Dad MIGHT be getting released as early as mid-next week, but no one else can confirm or deny that so we're not getting our hopes up. I've got a call into Stephen the social worker to see if that's indeed the case, so I'll let YOU know as soon as I do.
