Good News Update!!!

Jim called about 30 minutes ago ..... they are going to let him go home today!!

Need I say that he is thrilled?

The potty chair with the drop-down arm has been ordered. The VA ordered it for him.

He will be taking several prescriptions home with him. He will have IV antibiotics delivered to his house daily for 7 days.

The home care nurse will go by everyday and the Physical Therapist will also be making house calls.

Jim will check to see how they handle mail and whether I should go by to pick up any mail that he might receive.

He ate breakfast, took about 12 pills and has had no tummy problems this morning.

I asked how he slept .. he told me he had a bad night. His ‘leg’ was hurting so much he could hardly stand it. Doctor talked to him about phantom pain and Jim said it may have been phantom but to him it was very real and it was awful.

I will try to get to the house sometime tomorrow to see how he is adjusting.

He asked me once again to let everyone know how much he appreciates their love and prayers.

I think that is all for now.

My prayers for a good recovery and great adjustment period.
