It's going to seem odd to not go to the hospital after work next week. How many days does it take to form a habit? 14, 21, more days, less days? I have no idea. What I do know is I've grown accustomed to parking in the same section of the garage everyday, walking the same maze of floors and sections to get from there to just about the opposite end of the hospital where Dad is, passing by the same cafeteria staff daily. This weekend will hopefully be the last time we all have to walk the long hallway to his room, hopefully the last Dad will ever see of acute rehab. The next phase begins next week in a new, different facility that brings him one step closer to home. Below are just a few of the photos I've taken during this phase of the experience.

Christa - you and PJ have done a magnificent job in helping your dad in his recovery and making sure Aunt Bev is also taken care of. This new chapter in his lift is going to be awesome for him and hopefully soon he will be able to go home :) - i love reading these - it is such an inspiration to me when I think I'm having a "bad" day - thanks :)
