He&#8217;s had a catheter in again for several days, and today he had that removed for good. Removing this, the last of his encircling tentacles, he was finally free. Combining that with increased strength and well-being, dad went for a walk without a walker this afternoon. His healthcare providers have decided that he&#8217;s ready to move to the general hospital floor, but they don&#8217;t have a bed for him there yet. He seems to be on track to head home in a few days or so. <\/p>\n<p>We got an iPad yesterday at the apple store, and he&#8217;s been enjoying playing some games on it. Despite my best efforts to introduce him to awesome games like angry birds, and world of goo, his favorite seems to be solitaire. <\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s still got some serious wounds that need time to heal, but things are looking good. He&#8217;s cheerful, walking on his own, and generally being the smartass we all know and love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Dad has had a great deal of progress.
