As of 5 pm Pacific time, my dad was released from the hospital after 21 days of "sentence." The hospital and his insurance company have arranged to deliver the necessary equipment he will need and have arranged for him to have a home nurse and physical therapist visit him everyday. He made a deal with the insurance company that if he determines that being at home with limited care is not conducive to his overall recovery, then he can check into Northridge Hospital at will and receive the same insurance coverage either way.
My dad is very relieved! I'm very worried still about the times that he'll be alone at the house because he did not arrange to have at least someone there all day with him. I think he just needs to see for himself how much of a struggle it may be to perform normal daily tasks alone. I hope he is honest with himself and doesn't let his distaste for a hospital prevent him from seeking a fuller recovery at the rehab center. I hope even more that he is a miracle case of fast and thorough healing and that he can reach a full recovery in the comfort of his own home.
All we can do is wait and see. I'll keep you posted as best I can.
Thank you all for your continued support.
