My father is back at home. There hasn't been much change in his condition. He is still unable to move anything below his waist, though he can feel some slight sensation as well as pain. His last 10 days in the hospital were spent at Mary Free Bed where they taught him how to get around in a wheel chair and do other things to adjust to life as a paraplegic. We've had to make a few changes to my parents house to accommodate such as putting a big ramp up to the front door and raising some of the furniture so we can get the mechanical lift under it. He is glad to be home watching the Tigers on his big screen television without the interruption of a nurse. It's a big change but we are all slowly adjusting, especially my mother and sister who are with him every day.
