Dad just seems locked in place. He's still convinced that he just needs to get a little stronger and he can return to his normal life. But in the meantime, he just stays in bed the vast majority of the time. Which is hardly any way to get stronger, and a sure prescription to the kind of digestive problems he had at UniHealth, where he mostly did the same thing, but because he didn't have a choice.
Thing is, it shouldn't take much to get him up and running. Just a little communication. As a doctor, he has to know that his body would work better if he got up and out of the room walking around more. I'm sure I talked to staff and they said there's no problem with him doing so.
I also still want to get a loveseat for he and Margaret to sit together on during visits. Of course, if he would just move to Assisted Living this wouldn't be necessary, since the rooms are already so furnished. I'm going to try to resolve that situation as well if it can be done. But he continues totally uninterested in doing in-out catheterization. So somebody else is going to have to give ground. Hey, it could happen.
