On target for getting discharged tomorrow AM - staples are OUT!

Talked to Mom this morning as Dad was just coming back from his morning PT session. They have Dad on track for getting out of the hospital quite early tomorrow (around 7:30AM) in order for him to make his 9AM appointment for an MRI down the street. Could be a hectic morning, but one that we've all been waiting for.

Dad woke up in his new room (better late than never) - more comfortable bed, an AC/heating unit that works well, and had another solid night of sleep without any eye pain. He sounds really good on the phone, and just got his staples out. Mom isn't sure who is more happy - Dad or the staff.

The neurosurgeon apparently was beside himself this morning, and couldn't get over how good Dad looked. That's a nice confidence boost for Dad to have someone that saw him a lot over the last month to say that. . .

So tomorrow - MRI and mtg with the neurologist. Then drive home Friday morning. That's the plan!
