Saturday - 12/13

Dad got moved to Stallworth Rehab Center on Wednesday. He would've been moved on Tuesday, except his insurance company balked and said he should just be sent to a skilled nursing facility (a nursing home). Well - his neurologist, Dr. O'Duffy basically said there was no way she was going to let her good work go to waste, so she took care of that - and Dad got moved on Wednesday.

They started working him right away. One big point is that now he gets to wear pants. They told Mom to go and get him some stretchy pants. She asked Dad what he wanted. He said to get black and navy blue. Anyone out there who wants to send him a Razorback shirt - jump right in. If it's a sweatshirt, it'll be good therapy for him to have to get it on over his head.

Matt got to come for a visit. Conveniently, he had business over in Jackson and, conveniently, there was a Vandy basketball game to see in Nashville. So there you are, knocked off several birds with that one stone.

On Thursday Dad spent his non-rehab workout time sitting upright in a wheelchair. At suppertime they took him to the common dining room. Mom wasn't sure how much he actually got to eat since he's still not fully feeding himself. But, I can only imagine Dad, looking forward to getting to know all those new people!
