The Laurels of Bon Air

Dad is now enjoying a large private room at a skilled nursing facility called The Laurels of Bon Air. They have folks 24/7 that can help get dad moved around when he needs to be moved. They also have a dining room, salon, and physical therapy station. He has visited all of those this week. This is a 5 star rated facility.

Rachel took dad to the dining room to enjoy his first lunch away from his bed since the accident.

He also visited the salon for a hair cut.
Today he met his foor doctor for the first time in Richmond. They removed the braces to inspect his feet. Still shows lots of bruising. The doctor told him to elevate his feet as much as possible to get the swelling down.


They then fitted him with new "removable" braces. The doctor said he could take these off while in bed being still.

The title of this picture is Robo Dad. All he needs to complete this picture is a black helmet and cape...and maybe a light saber.

He sees his back doctor on Wednesday & if all goes well, the foot doctor will do surgery next Friday.
