Joe Schram

I got this forwarded email from Carol and Denis:

All: I am writing this from Carol's e-mail address as she is up in DC with Joe.

Joe fell and hit his head and eye on Tuesday. Neighbors called 911 and he was transported to George Washington University Hospital. We arrived mid morning on Tuesday.
After a rough night Tuesday, he seems to be resting comfortably and has a pretty good idea of his situation. A scan revealed no broken bones but he does have arthritis in his legs and symptoms of dementia.

He says he does not have any pain and the therapist got him up on his feet today.

His insurance coverage specifies that 3 consecutive days of physical therapy are required prior to transfer to a rehabilitation facility. If all goes well, he could be moved on Monday. We are looking at locations in Bethesda and Chevy Chase.
The plan is for Joe to stay in rehab until he can handle himself in an Assisted Living facility. This could take a week or more depending on his progress.
As to Assisted Living, Carol and I have visited several locations in Richmond and have selected 3 that are suitable. Leaving his home of 45 years will not be easy for Joe.

Say a prayer for him.

Denis and Carol
