It's Been A While.

In the last post I talked about my dad being being in rehab for anywhere up to three months. Well it is about 3 days shy of that three months and as of last week he was moved from the temporary care part of the rehab facility to the more permanent floor until we could find someplace, a care facility, foster home for adults, or a nursing home, in which we wanted to place him.
This move put quite a bit of stress on my father as he thought that the 3rd floor was where the people went when they were "really bad off". Essentially he thought we were dumping him off on the 3rd floor and forgetting about his rehab, and any hope of him getting any better at all. He remained agitated after his move to the 3rd floor even though we were able to bring some of his things around him, he was still taken down to therapy, and some of his favorite nurses actually worked on this floor as well. It was hard seeing him so unhappy but there was no where else to move him at this time. According to law he had to be moved from the temporary unit at this time and we have put his name on several waiting lists for homes that we like, but none of them have a bed available for him yet.
