Everyone deserves a vacation. Those that work at the hospital doing rehabilitation included. Due to the intense workload of the therapists, I bet they can't wait to get away. Dad's primary physiotherapist is away for three weeks. Oh, and he got married, so I guess he's entitled to the time off. He deserves it, they all do. They work hard at often times not very rewarding sessions. For most people, the payoff is not in a single session or month. It's over years. Dad will be benifiting from these sessions for the rest of his life. It's hard to see that when you appear to be working with the same person day after day.
Dad's got this obsession with bowel movements. He only wants Mom to change him rather than have to wait on the support workers to change him. He gets upset if he hasn't had a bowel movement by the time Mom is ready to leave.
The last week and a half, there has been a viral infection on the floor. At one point visitors had to wear gown and mask. It's mostly over now, no new infections. However, patients were not allowed to leave the floor. Dad and Mom haven't been able to enjoy the warm outdoor weather.
