Well, it's finally happend.... Dad went to see Grandpa's doc on Friday and said we should admit G to the hospital on monday morning and then Medicare would pay for three days of hospital and then three weeks of rehab at a facility VERY close to our house. The doc said that would allow us to get a good evaluation of him and be better prepared to make some longer term decisions.
Because his abilities vary greatly during the week, getting an accurate evaluation over time is quite important. G has fallen four times this week at night and it is getting harder and harder to take care of him even though it is still possible to do so at home.
So I went with dad to admit him and run him around for some tests etc. The hospital has changed quite a bit since I was there last. anyway, all is well, G just really wanted to sleep. Some conglomeration of us will go back later today to visit.
