Tough Times

This is just an update to let you know where we are on this road  to recovery.  Dad did not have the highly anticipated knee surgery on January 19th.  He was unable to answer the doctor’s pre -surgery questions and then became non responsive (his vital signs were always good).  We could not wake him up.  He had been having some difficulties earlier in the week with his emotional recovery and was given a new medication which could have been a factor.

So…. where are we now? 

We are in a tough, tough spot.  I think... now dad has begun the other part of this road to recovery,  the mental and emotional recovery.  Dad is not in a good place emotionally right now, and is working with his psychologist,  to help him begin this very difficult part of his recovery….he’s got the physical recovery under control.  He is facing the biggest hill to climb, yet.
Dad has been very open with his recovery up to this point and I’m sure he will be again when he is able.  Right now he is not up for visitors, but he is reading messages.   
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me at: meegs@hotmail.com and I will do my best to answer any questions.
 
Thank you everyone for your love and support.  Keep my dad in your thoughts.
