Physical Therapy at Home

Pa woke me up only 2-3 times last night. He slept all the way through from ~2:00-9:30. I woke him up at 9:30 only because the physical therapist was stopping by to evaluate how much therapy he'll need at home. She said he has a lot of potential as long as he does the exercises. She wrote down some exercises he can do and said she'll be stopping by maybe twice a week for the next 3-4 weeks.

We already had a bunch of exercises that the physical therapist at the hospital gave us. We're supposed to do them all several times a day. I think we managed to do them just once. Pa gets tired easily. He needs to build up his stamina.

Pa has been sleeping in late since he got home. Tomorrow I plan to get him up by 8:30. Otherwise there won't be enough time for all the exercises he needs to do. It's not just physical therapy but also occupational and speech therapy.
