Rehab

-


Dr. Menacho (the surgeon who removed Cornell's tumor) stopped in to check on Cornell. She said, he was doing well. He isn't hooked up to anything but an oxygen monitor clipped to his finger.  The doctor wanted him to go to rehab yesterday, but we are waiting on approval from insurance. So once we get the word, Cornell will be moved to another wing of the hospital and beginning working toward regaining his balance, gross and fine motor skills. He is in a good place mentally to put forth a serious effort toward recovery.  Once he is safe enough to be home, we can start working on the next best thing.

2:30 pm. Cornell got the okay from insurance and will be moved to the rehab this afternoon. U of U Health Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital

Here is the location of the rehab hospital.

4:00 There are a series of sky walks that connect the hospitals, so they just wheel the patient, bed and all, to where ever they need to go. Cornell has been moved to room 301. The Rehab Hospital is 2 yrs. old. It's very nice. Here is a view from Cornell's room.

Cornell's Birthday & 6 Months

I started "Cornell's Mountain" as a way of keeping up with informing family about Cornell's condition and treatment. The link was soon passed along to extended family and then to friends, associates, classmates, mission and ward family and more. After Cornell's passing there wasn't much to say and to tell the truth, I didn't have the heart to return here.  But we just passed the 6 month mark since his passing and last Monday, March 6th, was Cornell's 62 birthday, kind of miles stones. I doubt anyone still comes here, but it seemed like a good place to honor his memory.  For his birthday, the kids, their spouses and grandkids and Cornell's brother Louis (in our various locations) ordered Chinese food or pizza and had cheesecake for dessert. Cornell's favorites. Then we had a Zoom meeting and played a game.  The game went like this, on "Go" we wrote down all of the Cornell quotes we could think of. After 3 minutes we stopped and put dow...

Holding Pattern

It looks like there is no room in any care facilities in Pocatello, so we are putting off going home for another day while we work on a plan B, which might actually be yesterday's plan A. The lack of room is about a staffing shortage.  If I get to talk with the case manager before the end of the work day, I might learn more and then I'll add to this post.
