He said the last two days were pretty awful and he was wondering if he'd ever feel human again. So he was pretty excited to have less chest pain today.
He was busy with therapy this morning and he has another session this afternoon.
As of today, it looks like he might be going home on Sunday. When he leaves the hospital, Curt will be staying with Matt & Tess until he's strong enough to go home. This way he'll have help with his recovery and meals and that sort of thing. Curt has discussed with his doctors the situation with needing to care for Myra when he gets home and that is just physically not an option.
Sooo.......Myra will be coming to stay with Dusty and I in Mankato. We've got her new room almost all ready. We were able to arrange for dialysis in a neighboring town (well, it's actually 45 minutes away but beggars can't be choosers).
She'll have a room on our main floor with a bathroom and of course the kitchen is there as well. Dusty works nights (for the time being) and I work during the day so it will work out pretty good. I have some flexibility at work which allows me to work from home or take time as I need to help Myra, so that is a relief.
This just seems like the best solution. Right now, they are paying out of pocket for nursing home care and then she has to take a cab to dialysis. We're not comfortable with relying on strangers to care for her.
You are more than welcome to visit Myra if you want to make a trip to Mankato, or to call her here on our phone. We love to have visitors! The same goes for Curt while he's with Matt & Tess.
