It is going to be a challenge to get in my 10,000 steps today. But I already have 5,000 so maybe I will do it.
Thanks for asking. He was discharged from hospital today to go back to nursing home. They had given him too much pain meds in the ER on Wednesday night and he was totally zonked out for over 36 hrs. He is finally doing a slight bit better but has lost so much strength again.
They did an MRI and discovered that he had had two mini strokes. We are fortunate to still have him with us. Hope he will be able to regain some strength with some rehab. It certainly is hard watching someone who was once so vibrant and strong start failing.0 -

I'm glad he's out of the hospital, and on the path to recovery.0 -
