Slowly, t's personality is emerging. He was wide awake this afternoon. He was smiling hugely (is that a word?). Also, when my daughter asked him if he was ready to go home, he shook his head no. That's ok, I'll give him a few more days.
I had a successful day too. I was able to get Bob registered into the VA system! Looking like you are at your wits end, tired, and sitting in a wheelchair makes some people be very helpful. So, there's one advantage of being in a wheelchair. (only one!) With a little more luck, when he's ready to bust out of this joint, he will transfer to Roseburg VA hospital. We live in Roseburg. My kids are missing us terribly. My dog, Bentley, is missing us too.
Pray for a great recovery. Bob's "on the road again".
