Kaiser Comes Through
Kaiser sent a home health worker by today, and she was excellent. She did a very thorough and respectful and professional inquiry into every aspect of Dad's health and recovery, gave us lots of information, spoke to me about all of my concerns, and in general greatly eased my mind. She confirmed what the rehab PT person said: Dad's strength is fine, but his stamina is extremely low, and there's nothing surprising or extraordinary about his path to recovery. Things will take time. She gave him a lot of advice on how to protect himself, and how to challenge himself. I couldn't have asked for more.

Hi Dick and Deb,
Sounds like you two are getting settled in. I'm happy that the home health nurse did such a good job. It makes a big difference.
Dick if your not already doing this you might try planning your goals for each day with a planned nap mid morning and mid afternoon. balancing rest and activity.
You're doing great. Both of you.
Deborah you have been outstanding as Dicks advocate and pulling so much together.
Take care,
Maryanne
