Dad called me up last night and asked if I would come over in the morning to talk to the social worker and her boss. He counted on his fingers Jan, Feb, March, April yesterday when we were eating lunch in the York Hospital cafeteria and said, "they told me I could go home in 3 months."
He landed at Sentry Hill in January because he fell in the night when trying to go into his bathroom at home. He tripped over a box and broke some ribs. I took him to the hospital and they discovered he should not go back home alone.
So this morning I drove over to see him only to discover a friend of my sister's had taken him out to breakfast. So I missed seeing him and don't think I can get back today. I called the social worker a few moments ago and asked her to talk to him as I know he is waiting to go home. The three months he was promised have passed.
