Our current stumbling block is that Dad needs a fistula. This is neither an Eastern European river nor a particularly bellicose (nor kinky) vampire, but rather a permanent site (on the body) for dialysis, as against the catheter currently hanging from his chest/neck region. This would be a flat site, on the arm. This may be why the nursing home sent out a nurse liaison to see him rather than a marketing person. He also needs a dialysis facility near the nursing home, but presumably that is a lesser problem. Knock on wood.
Physical therapy is again getting to be rare and cursory, I guess because everyone knows he's leaving soon. It would still be helpful; anything is way better than nothing. Hoping that it's better at the nursing home.
