KARON COMING HOME
Tomorrow (Thursday) is the day Karon is scheduled to be released from the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana. We have a 9:30 a. m. doctor’s appointment to get clamps removed and X-Rays taken. Hopefully we’ll get some questions answered about continued physical therapy—when and where; questions about restrictions, etc. Karon says she is going to church with me Sunday. We’ll have to see about that. If the doctor says she’d better take it easy a while, I’ll either get someone to preach and stay with her or find someone to stay with her during church time. I already have someone lined up to preach if need be.
I’m expecting that my time for most anything will be limited to none for a while. I suppose Posts on this Journal will be less frequent. (I know—you’re thinking, “They haven’t been all that frequent now.”) It will be a challenge to add another responsibility to my “plate”. It seems like work, church ministry and home responsibilities already keep me busy. Something will have to be “let go” to be able to give Karon the kind of care and attention I want her to have and that she deserves. She will need a lot of care as well as doing the household duties she normally assumes. Sleep and rest will probably be one of those things that will be “let go”.
I think there will be people who can help during the day some so I’ll be able to go back to work next week. We’re still praying for Karon’s disability application from work to be approved. That will take a lot of the financial stress away if it is.
Her care and treatment at RHI has been less than the facility’s reputation led us to expect. There were several instances that were disturbing. Some instances involved giving of medication and others were patient treatment issues. But I told her this morning—one more day and one more night! We’ll be glad for her to be home.
I’ll try to post with some regularity.
Jim
