Verlin spent 3 weeks in the hospital and a month at chancellor Gardens and came home on August 19th. He still struggles to walk but has been getting a bit stronger. When he could walk the length of the hall at Chancellor Gardens with his walker they let him come home. He has had a Physical Therapist coming 3 times a week, an Occupational Therapist that has been coming 3 times a week and a Speech Therapist that came about 4 times. They are all finished with him now except the Physical Therapist that will come once next week and once the following week.
He can't remember how to take his blood sugar or use the TV remote any more and several other routine things that he did before. It is especially upsetting to him (an me) that he can't remember how to use the TV remote. He tries and the TV goes out of whack and I'm not really sure which buttons he has pushed so don't readily know how to fix it again. I keep telling him to just push the up or down buttons but he forgets and pushes the first button that is handy--but I never know which one that is. However, some of the things have started coming back so maybe he will recover some of what he lost.
