Monday May 25th Rehab: Home visit

Jeff cleared all his tests, chemical stress, EKG, echo cardio gram, blood tests, etc. But he has a slightly elevated heart rate. Therefore they are doing an angiogram tomorow. Jeff is getting tired of all these tests.......

He came home for his second 8 hr.leave today. I am not sure he gets a lot of rest, as everyone congregates in his little room. He then went to see Star Trek with Gayle and Tiff. According to Gayle, they have spots for wheelchairs, but they are located in the front row of the theater. She has a sore neck and a headache from the sound system. He made it back to the hospital in time for the Laker game. Sometimes it is a sight to see, Jeff, Jordan, Jared and Tiffany, spread all over the room watching a 19" screen near the cieling, while Gayle, her sister Judy and I are in the dining room watching a large screen TV. Go figure.

We still have a lot to plan for. They have recommended we continue the biofeedback pack for his left leg after he is discharged. Some of his insurance will cover the wheel chair, walker and a few other things, but not some of the recommended items such as grab bars.
Then we figure in disability, short term leave, family leave, insurance coverage, etc.

We are continually working on the house, clearing things out, moving stuff around, preparing for Jeff's homecoming. We are planning to install a small screen TV in his room at home, but the fear is he will not leave the room. He will not get a refrigerator so we know he will come out periodically........Jared is extremely jealous. Jeff gets a tv, computer and a room of his own.

Jordan came home to help out. He is in the process of finals and moving out to an apt. in San Diego. He comes in and keeps Jeff amused with his rants and observations on life. His favorite subjects are baseball (dodgers), Lakers and the prospect of Darvish coming to the majors. Needless to say, he has been frustrated lately......

Thank you for your continued prayers. From the Wadas we hope that you all have had a safe restful and great Memorial weekend.
