When I brought him home from rehab, I wasn’t sure if I had made the right decision for us.
I was extremely concerned that I wouldn’t manage. Burt was still dependent on a wheelchair much of the time. I had limited help (it’s expensive, you know!) to weekdays for 5 hours. Except that first weekend at home when I had 8 hours both days, which was both too much and not enough.
His baseline behaviors and cognition improved or stabilized. He’s returned to being sociable, although most of his conversation is muddled. There are delusions. He has begun to experience benign hallucinations again.
His rehabilitation to walking with a Neuro UStep Walker took time, but it took.
