Today has not been the best of days. When Dad had his stroke he fell and "tore up" his arm. He had an appointment with a plastic surgeon this morning to see whether his arm was healing and whether he would need skin grafts. The hospital had him transported to the appointment and Matt rode in the ambulance with him. After waiting over an hour for his appointment he then had to wait three more hours for transportation to come back and get him. I can't believe Dad had his stroke less than two weeks ago and had to sit in a doctor's office most of the day. Not only did he have to sit in the office all day but he missed a day of rehab. According to his nurse, he was very tired when he got back to his room.
On the positive side, the doctor said his arm was healing well and nothing further was needed. U.Va. won last night which made Dad very happy and it's almost the weekend so we can all go and see him. Finally, it is wonderful not to be in this alone. I am so thankful for my brothers, sister, and sister-in-laws. All of our unique talents have blended together to form a united front in working to help my parents and help each other cope. We are all so different but all so much the same. I love each of them dearly.
