Description
Friday 9-1-06I was sitting in the Healing Garden at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, when this little guy came by for a visit
Sunday 8-27-06
John, my 85 year old father in-law, who was visiting us, went out for his early morning walk, fell and hit his head.
We took him to the emergency room, they ran some test and after a 3 hour stay, they transported him to Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, 75 miles away.
Monday 8-28-06
They operated today, 2 hours in surgery and 5 hours in recovery, then to IC.
Tuesday thur Thursday 8-29-06/8-31-06
Recovery is very slow, John sleeps alot and seem confused some of the time, but never complains and is always polite to everybody around him.
Friday 9-1-06
Trying to get John into a rehab center, but the insurance is slow, now he has to spend the long weekend in the hospital, where he won't receive as much help as he needs.

Beautiful shot...I have yet to get a close pic of my little friend in flight. Isn't it funny how wild animals seem to know sometimes that humans need a lift from their presence?

Yeah, with the elderly everything takes so much longer in the rehabilitation phase. Sometimes it can be frustrating...but you just have to take it one day at a time!
