Today I took a shower and I undressed myself, washed and dried myself, and dressed again afterwards, all without assistance. I'm getting really good at walking with a cane. And I've been acing the balance tests and the stair climbing tests.

This afternoon I'm going to talk to the Social worker about starting the process of getting discharged. I think I'm ready. But they'll probably drag it out.

UPDATE: I talked to the Social Worker and she said they're targeting next Wednesday for my release.

1 They never do seem to want to let you go when you think they are ready.  Then again, they probably see more people with strokes and the like than you do, so they (hopefully) know best.

I don't really think it's that, it's just that all bureaucracies grind at their own speed,

Parr of the problem is that the person I need is off today and won't be back until Monday.

3 Steven, if you haven't seen it, you might want to take a look at today's e-mail from Robert's Anime Corner Store... or did you approve it?

4 I won't have access to my email until I go home.

5 (It's this RACS blog post, which I think you knew about, word for word.)

6 Glad to hear of your progress, and I hope you go home soon.  Who knows what mischievous those beavers are up to without you to keep an eye on them.  And I'm still a bit concerned about those ducks...

7 Sorry, I dozed off after dinner.

It's as Mikeski says, though I had no idea he had posted it on the RACSblog.  I thought you should know because of your "no get well cards" post, not knowing that the post was in reaction to Robert's blog.

Whoops.
