Dad is out of hospital. As amazing as that is, I cannot BELIEVE how terrible his discharge has been handled. When we met with the doctor on Wednesday, we also spoke to the physio person on the floor and his nurse about when he would be getting out. They said that no discharge plan had been started so it would be a while. Because Dad is going to be going to his house, we knew we would need at least a day or get organized, plan where he was staying, get the equiptment he will need at home, his clothes, meds, etc. They told us we would be given lots of warning when he was getting close and that is definetly wouldn't be anytime soon. Yeah, they gave us about three hours! SERIOUSLY! What would have happened if he didn't have family that actually cared and were willing to take him in? Would he just have gotten a taxi back to his house? He can't drive, he can't cook, he is too tired to walk to the freaking bathroom but just send him home! No problem! CANT BELIEVE IT!!!!!! This whole situation has really shown me how utterly terrible our health care system is.

Anyway... It is great that he is out now. As far as I know he is staying with Mary Lynn for the time being and eventually moving into a small apartment in Mom's house. That way he will have his own space but is around people all the time.

Good thing this all happened on a Friday afternoon so we can get sorted out this weekend.
