Moving On....

My apologies for the lapse in time - the transition from hospital to the rehab unit has distracted me! Yesterday Clarke worked with both Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy, took off his hospital gown in exchange for T-shirt and sweats, and then sat in his bedside chair to wait for the transport people, who were scheduled to take him away at 3:30 pm. They arrived at 6:30, by which time he was a bit restless, but remained good-natured. The afternoon is not an easy time to navigate from NW to SE!

Tsering Dolmah surprised him be being there when we arrived at Mill Park - seeing her always cheers him up. She helped get him settled into bed, and then rounded up his shaving equipment and cleared the stubble he'd acquired. A nice nurse named Jordan came in to get a health history, and then Luke, another kind and pleasant nurse, was with him thereafter. It's a big change from the hospital environment, but he seems OK - it's peaceful and quiet.
Here's the information about his new locale:

• Marquis Mill Park Acute Rehab
• Room 117
• 1475 SE 100th Avenue
• Portland 97216

It is right behind Mall 205.

His physiotherapy sessions are somewhat unpredictable, so if you are planning to visit, they'll try to work around you. I'll be meeting with his social worker on Thursday, and will get a better sense of how this program will unfold.
