Bob has been accepted into the Vancouver, WA VA rehab! It is an intense physical, occupational, and cognitive therapy rehab. He will be there for three weeks. Then, he either stays for an extended three weeks or he returns to the Roseburg VA to have a care plan developed for discharge. My son Zachary said to me, "Mom, you will never be able to be away from T for seven days." (Seven days because I'll drive the three hours to visit on the weekends.)
Bob started to cry today when I told him. He said he was crying because he was excited and happy that I would arrange that for him. Of course, he got me crying too. We talked about it several times. Each time, Bob started crying big crocodile tears.
Guess what Bob did today, he walked using only one hand to hold onto the parallel bars. AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAMERA! Tomorrow...
And to top off my day...Zachary was tested today for mono. Ugh, illnesses, do they ever end? Bob and I are going on a vacation to a remote island when this is all said and done! Where? We'll never tell.
My computer is being goofy tonight. If you'd like more information on aneurysms, strokes, Bob Pirie Fund, or the VA address with his room number, click on previous posts.
