tgrimes I hope you can stay with him overnight and he turns the corner soon. Thinking of you all. Plug for skilled nursing - if he needs services (pt/ot), they will do it every day at a place whereas outpatient or in home is only a few times a week. Despite my mom hating being there, she definitely benefited from therapy 6x a week over 2x if we had taken her home (not that we could have). Sucks regardless, but there is one positive if you have to go that route.

We just don't want him going the skilled nursing facilities that are covered by his insurance because they're not that great. I should have been more clear earlier.

Ahh - yes def acute then! 3 hours a day is wonderful and great to stay in the same place. We were sad when we were bumped out of acute therapy.

I'm going to need you to sit down. You're crushing me.. Get steppin! Yesterday was my big day, almost 20k steps. I feel like xolastunicornxo , lol At one point you were 7K ahead of me. Then you updated and it was 12K. Dh was laughing at me when I bugged out over that lol. Sitting at my desk all day is killing my numbers. I try to get up and walk around a little every hour but I can't get that many in while I'm at work. And I even walk to the mail box and the grocery when I need something.

Sorry about your dad tgrimes. Hopefully he's feeling better this morning. Did you stay the night with him? My sister did and I haven't heard from her this morning. I don't want to text or call her in case she/my dad is sleeping.

Luckily I have a different set of steppers I "race" with and I'm about middle of the road with them. So I'm not completely crushed.

Back when I worked full time I would eat a quick lunch and the walk the rest of my lunch break. The hospital I work at is in the middle of a neighborhood so I'd just walk up and down the blocks. But, if I hadn't done that I would not have gotten many steps. Running on the treadmill should help!
