Sloooowly, he's getting better. Tuesday, I asked him if he would like to go out to the farm and check things out, and he quickly was up and on his walker to head out to my truck to escape the home - we had a fine time of it.
For the very first time, he stated that he was looking forward to leaving the nursing facility! Proving, I guess, that you can only stand so much rest(home.)
That drive was probably the best medicine he had all month. You're a good boy, Loddy. :)
