On behalf of my family, I want to express my deep appreciation for your continued support.
As you know, my dad had been transferred out of the hospital on Monday of last week to his home. After he had been home for a couple of hours, I called him to ask how he was feeling. He said, "I'm lying in the most comfortable bed in the Western Hemisphere, I'm listening to the Paul Potts CD you sent me and I can smell mashed potatoes and teriyaki chicken cooking in the other room. I'm the happiest man alive."
He's been able to take a break from the three-week sentence and continue his recovery at home. A PT specialist comes to the house twice a week and he's visited by a nurse daily. For those that have been part of the small team to help ensure he has someone there with him at all times - we thank you. Special thanks to my brother, Matt, who has sacrificed much to make himself not only available when my dad needs him, but also has been focused on continuing to support and drive the business. Special thanks also to Naz who has been so caring and generous and has been bedside for most of these past five weeks - since the appearance of his first symptoms.
It did not take very long for my dad and those observing him to realize that home would not be the most effective setting for reaching his highest potential for full recovery. After several days of hassling with the insurance company, the hospital, the rehab center and the doctors... my dad was finally transferred to the Northridge Hospital's Rehab Center. I am also happy to report that he was able to obtain a private room. He began physical therapy today.
He's actually feeling more positively about staying at a rehab center for what could end up being several months. I am so glad that he was able to relax at home for a bit after the trauma of the last month.
All that is left is positive thinking, discipline and focus, and time.
Thank you,
~The Dymond Family
