11/12 Thurs update

[Joe Haldeman]

Boy, Joe writes so much better than I do.  I'm so glad he's at it again.

I'm the detail person, though, so here's my report. He got up and made his own eggs for breakfast yesterday (and again today) before I even knew he was up.  We had a consultation with a visiting nurse, who thought we were doing fine with dressing changes, etc., I'm proud to say.  Joe'll get PT three times a week, too.  Joe and Rusty took their walkers and walked to the end of the block and back.  My very own Veteran's Day parade!

We'll be here for at least another three weeks.  Joe needs another scan in two weeks.  Then we'll know what happens next.

Joe's out of bed and moving a lot, much better than he would be in a hospital.  He does take cat naps and seems to be sleeping well at night.  His appetite is great (he likes his own cooking).  So far, so good.  Love, Gay
