I will be bringing Jim home soon since the facility has said he has plateaued
in his rehab. Unfortunately the anesthesia put him back mentally as to
cognition abilities. They feel he is strong, can do things, but takes single
instructions to accomplish them. They suggest 24/7 care for his safety
Keep us all informed of progress. Bet we can work something out if he is up
