Well it has been awhile since I felt excitement in Bill's progress. He is getting stronger the last week or so. He's not talking as much....I find myself talking to myself. I told him if he would talk he could control the conversation....but if not he has to hear whatever I want to discuss with myself. So far he chooses to listen to me ramble on all day about nothing.
But that is not the good news...the good news is...starting on Monday the owner of the Rehab company. The head honcho will begin physical therapy with Bill three times a week. We got a real break because his regular lady is moving out of state. I am being told by the OT and the PT that is Bill will ever walk this is the guy to get him up and at it. So we are looking forward to Monday and the future with this guy.
We have had much trouble getting it going here with the insurance approving things that are needed. Well today we had a breakthrough with the same lady I have been having trouble with for 2 months. She made a conference call on our behalf to the state agency that aids seniors and people with disabilities. The state is sending a man out to do an evaluation on Bill's needs and let us know what help is available. The insurance lady is sending us two books with pages marked for agencies and companies that may be able to sell us items to help Bill be more comfortable at home with some home health aids. Since I don't really know what he needs she is now on our team. For now I am optimistic that she is going to help us.
Also, Bill's OT recommended a lady she knows that is a sitter. She came to the house to meet us....we talked for hours. Bill's OK with that I need to get some stuff done. The mesh in my right driver tire is showing so that will be first stop. She will come tomorrow for six hours. I will have my cell phone and Greg will be on standby he is only a half mile from our home.
I'm going to stick around for awhile to see how it goes making my list and getting addresses and phone number for where I need to go. Then after Bill gets comfortable I will hit the road. We made a deal on the days he stays home with the sitter and I go out I will bring home dinner. He is looking forward to that idea.
We shall see.......................
