I honestly thought I'd have more time to blog. Dan has been home for about a week and a half now, and I've gone back to work, so we are trying to settle into what is going to be our usual schedule for at least a month. Dan is in Sharp's Community Re-Entry Program (CREP), Monday-Friday from 9-3. He gets 6 hours of various therapy. It's a whole new set of therapists, but I've met them all and like them all. Also, there are only about 6 or 7 other people in the group so it's a nice small group and he is never neglected. In fact, they even keep an eye on him in the afternoons until I get off work to pick him up.
Physically, Dan is doing great. I've only had to give him extra insulin one time, and that was because I couldn't refuse him a taco that Joanna had brought. Other than that, his BG is usually somewhere between 95-120 when we check before meals. I'd like to think it's because of what we've been eating; I could continue to be anal about the carbs.
Obviously the main concern is still the memory. Dan's short-term memory is horrible, although at times it seems that there is progress. While he still can't remember what happened yesterday, with some prompting it seems as if he remembers conversations from earlier in the day. He has a book where we write his activities during the day. I do hope we find that right memory aid soon.
