Yesterday, Friday, was another good day of progress for Dad. Physical Therapy came in to assess him and work him a little bit. They had him sit in a chair for 30 minutes! One thing I have learned about PT through the years is that they do not mess around. They push patients and push them pretty hard. It is one profession were they do not listen to 'no's' and 'I don't want to's'. The good thing is that I believe Dad will be receptive to the therapy. Many of us saw him rehab his shoulder after surgery recently with a great amount of zeal and focus. Do not underestimate the power of 18 holes to motivate! =)
Dad was tired throughout the day, so he rested and was advised to not talk much. Again he had many visitors and encouragers. I'm sure the weekend will have a lot of people stopping by for some good news too!
As far as the outlook in the near future, Melissa met with a Neuro-doctor and he said Dad would stay put over the weekend and then hopefully step down to a regular room for a bit. After that he would go to a rehab facility.
Here is a great picture of Grandpa Canney with the grandkids!
