I've returned from the murk to help Em out. I made her a gofundme to keep the lights on and house cool for the kiddos, if anyone can help.

Terry may be going into residential rehab for awhile. I am trying to get him sent home. Dunno more yet.

My wife's uncle went to regional rehab after a stroke--It was great! He is back to near normal now.

Hoping for the best!

He doesn't want to be in rehab, and after the meltdown he had today I doubt he would cooperate without me being there. I need to be home for the kids, the farm, and try to take the reins awhile.

So sorry Em.

Residential rehab is best after a stroke. That said, I know some folks are just too stubborn for their own good. Home health has physical, occupational and speech therapies that can come out to your home and work with him several times a week. I don't know how the reimbursement would be, most of our patients are Medicare with an increasing Medicaid population. It's what I do for a living, so feel free to PM me if you have questions, or need anything.

Best is to do residential first, get the max benefit from that, then continue at home where they can work with the things you actually do on a day to day basis. Our Physical Therapists have helped folks golf, fish, ride motorcycles, etc. I'm sure they could come up with some good adaptive stuff for homesteading if he needs it.

Meltdowns and emotional issues are very, very common after a stroke. Heck, I had meltdowns just from being in the hospital, when my brain wasn't effected by anything

. some of us simply don't tolerate confinement well.

That may be what is best, but even I can't work miracles all the time. I can only do what I can do with him, which wasn't very much yesterday. He's talking again. It wasn't very nice things, but he is talking. Starting to think I liked him better the other way.

I posted the link on the hatching with friends thread today---and it is in my signature file now.

Is it on facebook? can you get the local newspaper to run a story?
