| It's all in your head...and legs |
Today was Dad's first full day back at Victory Lakes Spa resort and rehab center. We arrived at the "spa" to find that Dad, Carl/Grandfather spent the night WITHOUT having used any oxygen through the night. No, he didn't decide on this course of treatment himself. Rather his oxygen level was considered strong enough for him to sleep and breathe freely, and so he did.
He induldged in three strong "squares" today with a fine dining cuisine and tasty thicken water that would be the envy of any five star restaurant. The hit of the dinner meal was the ruby red beets that complimented his fish sandwich.
On the therapy side he participated in his therapy evaluation with Maria so his course of action to stregthen what's needed was laid out. With speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy his dance card is filling up fast.
All the nurses have set Dad straight explaining, in no uncertain terms, that if he wants to get home it's only through a positive attitude and succeeding at therapy. Dad listened well and we even found him "practicing" on his own so he can accelerate his release.
Dad has indicated that it would be nice to see visitors...a great sign.
Thanks again for everyone's prayers, thoughts and support.
