Day One at Brookstone: "Exhausted."

I talked to Dad briefly tonight - and he sounded incredibly tired. The move from the hospital to the rehab facility really wore him out. He did get settled into his room yesterday, and already has received quite a few visitors.

His routine for the next few days will be Occupational Therapy (OT) to help him get up, get dressed, and cleaned up; then breakfast down in the kitchen area; then Physical Therapy (PT). Back to his room for a rest, and then Lunch, PT, and either OT or speech therapy in the afternoons. He was too exhausted to do the afternoon session of therapy today, but he did get quite a few visitors tonight to pump up his spirits a bit to try and tackle tomorrow.

We'd love to see progress every day, but know that he'll have some days that don't quite meet expectations. It's good to have him focused on rehab and not on regaining stability of blood pressure or breathing.

Go Dad, Go!
