Eight days ago, my dad was flown out from the Rehabilitation Hospital of Southern New Mexico (in Las Cruces, NM) to Santa Cruz. He flew via AirMed, a sort of air ambulance, which made it much easier on us, as his mobility is quite limited. Medicare will cover some of the cost of this, since he was being discharged from an acute care hospital to a skilled nursing facility.
It's great that he is here in town, now, and Candice, Juliet, KB, and I have all been visiting him. However, this is a particularly busy time of year for us, since we just celebrated Juliet's fifth birthday weekend before last. He was pretty worn out for a while, and just wanted to rest, but now he seems to be perking up a bit. We're hoping he'll be up to coming over for Christmas dinner.
Now we're in the home stretch to Christmas. I'm off work for a couple of days, and Candice is focussed on preparing the Christmas feast.

Howdy Rand,
Gawd, I didn't know how bad things had gotten for you during the fall (I've been out of the loop).
Well I hope things are getting better for you.
Still keeping in touch for what it is worth.
Sign off,
