Or a really smooth talker.
Last week when Andy talked to the doctor, she had given him a tentative Friday date of departure...and now, he's coming home TOMORROW!
He started to convince the OTs. He was making all sorts of progress and got them on board to mention an early release date. Then he moved on to the PTs. He proved he could walk with a cane, then without the cane. He proved he could go up and down the stairs without assistance and then added some weights to his leg exercises. And so his PT jumped on board.
And then it was decided this afternoon that it was time to let this guy go home!
(And I think he called the gal that cuts his hair before he called me. No lie.)
He hasn't talked to the doctor about what is next, but we know it will involve some outpatient physical therapy. And he still won't be able to go back to work for a while. But he will be able to sleep in his own bed, eat all the non-hospital food he can, and oh yeah...be with Emmie and me!
