My big accomplishment today is convincing Mom to get a mani/pedi while I take care of Dad. Dad is tearful with the separation. Mom is torn but does eventually go--really, this is a huge accomplishment.
A full day: checking out wheelchairs, doing taxes for my parents, looking into extended health insurance coverage, visiting the dermatologist, plus rehab. Activities take time as rehab is all about relearning skills. All this makes for a very long day. Dad is exhausted. We skip physiotherapy. We barely make it through car transfers.
I chat with Mr. and Mrs. Lee, who shared a room with my dad at Vancouver General Hospital. Mr. Lee is has been a patient at the rehab centre for the past 6 weeks. I can always count on this lovely couple for a smile at the end of my day, which is a rarity in this hospital.
