Hairdresser Donna and Leonard
Well, Leonard has been home one week and he's doing very well. He's sleeping and eating better and much more relaxed than he was in the hospital. Go figure!
He is good about doing his exercises on his own. We have occupational and physical therapists onboard but they are not going to step in and work with him until he has his non weight bearing restrictions lifted. He has 2 more weeks with his wrist and hand, and 5 more weeks with his hip and ankle.
Gary and Sherry came over the first of the week to have lunch and say their fond adieu's as they are going back to Spokane. They will return in October. They are what we Zonies call "snowbirds".
Wednesday my hairdresser made a house call and washed and cut his hair. We were teasing him that he could grow a ponytail and get a ear piercing the rate he was going. Looks much nicer now.
Last night a RN came over and removed his sutures from his hand and wrist. Today his new caregiver started helping out. His name is Jerry and he will be coming over Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8 AM to Noon. Very pleasant young man who is in nursing school and is one year away from becoming an RN. He is a certified nursing assistant at present. I was able to run errands this morning while he was there to stay with Leonard.
It took some doing but we are finally on the right track with all the people in place to help him.
