How to Post

Ken,

You are right, but you only get to see the "New Post" Tab once you have set up an ID for the blog which is pretty easy to do, just go to the "sign in" tab in the upper right hand corner.  It will ask you to put in you re-mail address and pick a password.  Once you have done this, you can sign in to the blog instead of just looking at it.  This will allow you to post comments.

I talked with Grand Dad last night as well and it seems like he is making good progress.  They had him do physical therapy twice yesteday, so that is a positive step.  I think the exercise is really god for him, even if it doesn't target his shoulder, it will help keep the rest of him from atrophy. 

On a visit to Manor Care, we noticed that there was a Physical Therapist doing Nintendo Wii with one of the residents as part of their program.  I don't think they have an Airport Ramp Manager game, but I can see Grand Dad setting some pretty high scores on the Bowling and Dance, Dance revolution games.

I have been able to get through on Grand Dad's cell phone, but the reception is not great and it takes him a while to answer it from when he first picks it up.  I think it is a combination of spotty reception, not using the hearing aid, and difficulty finding a good position to hold the phone while favoring the left shoulder.  It can be hard to understand him a bit with 2 TV's in the background blaring Bill O'Rielly.

I talked to the Social Worker at Manor Care today to find out the status of his DSHS application for the Rehab Care and Assisted Living, but she siad she has not heard back from them yet, but that it typically takes a couple of weeks. We have a list of other Assisted Living facilities in the area that will be good to check out once we confrim what his eligibility is.  In the meantime, I exchanged e-mails with the Administrator at Peters Creek to let her know we are interested in thier facility, but want to check out some others before committing to anything.
