Bill, Friday August 9, Transfer Day Good

The Great Transfer Day.

10:30 in the morning, medical transport hauled Bill out of OHSU. Now he is all set up at the skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation.

We are very glad it was an early transport. Bill's case is fairly complicated, and the doctor spent most of the afternoon and into the evening going through his history, getting the prescription orders in, and talking with us.  Seriously, she was still on site when I left at 7:30.

The staff have been great. They even wheeled in an extra bed so Ayn can stay with him. We were thinking she might have to revert to the ICU days of sleeping on the waiting room floor, or maybe on a cot or mat. But the efforts at the facility prove they understand the patient will have better outcomes with an involved family.

We could also sense the professionalism of all the staff, and they all reported longevity with the company. (Unlike our prior deal with the Great FAILED Transfer Day. Enough said. Oh, except I am filling out the complaint form to send to Oregon regulators.)

So Saturday should be off and running with lots of movement, speech, and games.
