Dave safely ensconced

Dave moved over from the unit where the emphasis was mostly on physical care for acutely ill patients to an acute rehabilitation unit.  This involved much sitting up for long periods, standing and walking. I was amazed to see Dave do all that and then even sit in the day room to eat dinner at 5:30.  

It helped that he had been able to rest quite a bit better last night and this morning, finally getting that much-needed sleep, and hopefully he is now on the road to overcoming the disturbance in his sleep cycle that resulted from two weeks in the ICU.  

Thanks to all of you who love the iPod idea.  Coincidentally, the doctor who did Dave's intake interview this morning suggested precisely that!
