I was up at five and back in at the hospital by seven. There was a parade of people coming through. The Orthopedic PA came and wrote his discharge orders; the Cardiologist came and visited and wrote a prescription and made arrangements for a Holter monitor for early July; and most importantly, the Physical Therapist came in, took Forry up and down the stirs sideways, then signed off that she considered him safe to go home.
Then it took another couple of hours. Apria had to deliver and fit Forry's new walker. It was just before noon by the time the orders had been processed and we were free to go. The lady from the Transport Team came with a wheelchair and a cart to haul Forry and all his flowers and other stuff downstairs while I went to get the car.
We made a detour by Group Health so that I could go in and get the prescriptions filled, then headed out towards the RV park. The PT's idea of going up the stairs sideways worked very well. I think Forry was very glad to finally relax in his recliner.
We are very thankful for all the good thoughts and prayers that have been offered on our behalf. Blessings to all of you!
