****************
Well, Dad stayed in the hospital for three days, was released on Monday to go to the Coral Desert Rehab, across the street from the hospital. He was doing great, they put his leg in this contraption that continuously moves his leg. Dr. Smith, loves this machine and one of the nurses said, "If the patients could walk with it, Dr. Smith would have them." That's how much he swears by this machine. So they told us to make sure that when he gets to Coral Desert to make sure he gets his machine set up and get his leg in it. We get to the Rehab place and we get dad all situated and before I left at 6:00pm nobody had come in to give him his machine. So I went to the nurses station and asked about it and they said, "You don't have it? Well the Physical Therapist left for the night, so he will get it tomorrow, it won't hurt to go one night without it." So I went back and told my dad and he was fine with waiting till morning. I didn't get a chance to get back until I got a call after work on Wednesday.




Dad just got word that they were releasing him and the Rehab place was coming to pick him up!!!! YAY!!!! Fresh air and sunshine for the first time in 3 days.
