goin' to rehab!

My dad is headed to rehab tomorrow--that is, assuming the place we want him to go (about five minutes away from where they live) has a bed tomorrow--they're supposed to, as someone is getting discharged in the morning.

All tubes and catheters and iv's were removed today, along with the restraints (which he was actually mostly off of today)- a patient has to be restraint-free for 24 hours before leaving the hospital.

My mom's worried that he isn't as responsive as he was before the surgery and I keep reassuring her that it's likely still some meds, that he's been restrained in a hospital for a week, he's got nothing to do but therapy a few minutes a day and that the physical therapy is exhausting for him. etc etc. But...the neurologist prescribed a memory med that might actually help him. In any case, I'm assuming it can't hurt.

We're going to see him in the morning. I leave for the airport at noon, and hopefully dad will be moved to rehab in the afternoon.
