Okay! I HAD to share a little bit about today. Gary had his first coffee and his first meal of mashed potatoes, pureed chicken and green beans, soup, pudding, milk and tea. He actually complained that he ate too much!!
He has started a new medication for hypo-tension. When he stands up his blood pressure sometimes goes to 80/40. Hopefully this will give him the opportunity to be able to work on walking more without getting so dizzy.
He is still seeing blurred or double-vision. They have put a patch over one eye. However, the neurosurgeon said that the eyes and swallowing tend to come back about the same time, so we'll hope that is just around the corner.
He "works" tomorrow from 9:30-2:00 and then can have visitors the rest of the weekend. Since he is in a double room, only 3 people can visit at a time. Rehab is right across from the Women's Center at the east entrance (off Renfert Dr.). I'm not sure if the entrance is open on the weekends. You can also find it by going to the ground floor and walking south of the dining room. (I said east last night...oops!)
