My father has been home for a little over a week. My husband has been working with him over the past week, and it is amazing the progress he's already made. As Gladys, his left arm is a problem. The nursing home did not take care of him, and as a result, his left arm was left hanging and it had no circulation when he came home. My husband began massaging his arm and helping him work it out. The first few days were very painful for him, but he has made progress in being able to move his arm. We gave him Tylenol for the pain. I pray therapy goes well for Gladys. She's blessed to have you as a caregiver. Thank you for telling your story, Valerie. My father has been home for a little over a week.
