Not at Longhorn Village anymore ..
Dad was 'released' on Tuesday to continue to heal on his own ... away from the skilled nursing facility. He no longer needs intense wound care for his foot. His foot is not completely healed though. He still has a standing appointment at the Wound Care Center in Cedar Park so he is staying close. In an effort to keep an eye on his progress, I have him staying at my house.. with 2 teenagers, one husband, a caretaking mother-in-law, a needy dog, and Me! It's quite a combination and I don't know how long I can keep it all in balance.
Today...
... we meet with a Home Health Care provider, which Medicare part B covers at 100% while needed. (whew!) I've been noting all that dad can and cannot do so hopefully they can kick in with some good help. He really wants to go back to Gonzo soon, but I need to assess how he gets around before I can think about that move. I know we have lots of "rules" around our house with so many people living in it, and that may drive him crazy enough to get stable sooner than later. I need to know that he can make meals, keep up with his meds and insulin, keep himself and his area clean and keep from getting injured again. The Home Health Care will transfer to Gonzo so that is a big help.Just keeping you informed with changes. Hope all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Love,
Amber
