Prelude to a Finale

Stopped in to see the folks tonight and drop off some fresh clothes and an old paper for Dad, and found that Mom was pretty tired from a long day of sisterly visits and physical therapy. She was sound asleep in her room when dinner was being served and I'm beginning to wonder if she's going to be awake when I stop by later tonight for LOST. Dad was pretty tired too, but he was in good spirits when I came in.

Bill and Grace apparently picked up a GoPhone for Dad (thanks you guys!), and I'm going to program our numbers in there for him when I head down again tonight. Sounds like we'll have the activity room (i.e., the sweet plasma) all to ourselves for the LOST finale tonight, so I'm planning to be there by 8:30 to make sure everything is situated and ready.

I still need to schedule an appoointment with Stephen the social worker so we know how long this stay is going to last, but I know Dad is doing well with using his right hand and even though he is getting around with a wheelchair, things are looking much better now than when I picked him up last Thursday. Mom on the other hand apparently took a fall last night when she was trying to move without nurse's aid, and now the nurses are watching her closer than ever to make sure she doesn't try to get up or move without assistance. It doesn't sound like she was seriously hurt in the fall, but it's still cause for concern and I can't help but think that it might be a small setback for her physical therapy.
