Small Update

Well, it's been almost two weeks since I last wrote, so I feel like I ought to report something even though there is not a whole lot to say health-wise (mostly a good thing).

Mom has been doing pretty well -- seems back to her usual self.

Dad is doing OK, but he still is not back to walking after the stay in the hospital.  I think he is back to daily PT, since the stay in the hospital resets the clock for Medicare with regard to paying for PT.  He is of course on the soft food/thickened liquid diet that he doesn't really care for.  Hope he is getting enough calories.

This past weekend was 'family time'.  Saturday we moved everything out of the apartment (Liz and MB had packed it all in a marathon session last week).  Most of it went into a rental truck that went to Dor's house.  Then Sunday, we all got together for March b-day celebrations at Dor's at which time people rummaged through the truck-load of memories to figure out who wanted what.  Josh and Lauren were able to come up and they picked up Mom and Dad on the way.  It was fun and productive, but there is still a pile of stuff cluttering Dor's house.  Although Mom and Dad were glad, as always, to see all of the family, I think the big get-together is kind of hard for them, especially for Dad -- too much going on and it goes too late for them.
