All settled in - Room 1508 at Brookestone

We got Dad all settled in. I had come up to sign a bunch of paperwork, and called Tracy to ask a question. . .only to find out that she was in Dad's room unpacking his clothes and getting him settled in. Neither of us realized that the other was about 100 away.

Dad has a nice room again - with a good view outside and big windows to bring in natural light. Right now that's seeing the gray clouds and winter weather, but it's a bright and comfortable room.

A lot of questions around next steps while he's here. He still needs to show progress for Medicare to pay for his care, so I've asked for the lead therapist to come down here to talk to us a bit more about just what that means and how they measure progress.

Visitors are welcome -- the best time to come up is around meal times (noonish, 5:00pm). Dad has a very weak voice and really making an effort to talk, but he likes to engage in short conversations. He's pretty worn out in the evenings by around 6:30 or 7PM, so if you can keep the visits to before then, that'd be great.
