Back at Brookstone - tired from the move

Dad got back to the rehab facility around 3:00. He's all cleaned up, although someone did a knock-down, drag out job of his chin when shaving him. He doesn't recall a struggle, or a dull razor, but it was one of the two.

The final verdict of why the chest pain? Don't know. With all of the cardio tests coming back the way they should, they've ruled out heart issues. So we have that going for us, which is nice.

The neurologist from the Mayo Clinic called the oncologist yesterday, and reiterated to him that the MRI was stable, and to take another one in 4-6 weeks. No further treatment or changes at this point, although they probably will look at starting to decline his dosage of steroids sooner rather than later. He's still at the highest dose (24mg), and we really don't want him there any longer than he needs to be.

Mom had a bit of a short night at Brookstone, opting to have dinner over with the Huffs, and then go home and just relax. Thanks to our neighbor Gene for sitting at the house while they fixed the phones. Definitely want to get a nomination in for him as "Neighbor of the Year" should that award exist. Everyone has been so nice and helpful - it really is much appreciated.

We're trying to think of ways to engage Dad mentally, since reading books or watching TV is a bit out of bounds right now (we think he's having vision issues and just plain concentration problems). Audio books were mentioned today, so we may try that. Any other suggestions out there?
