After the fall

I Facetimed with Dad today. It was another good conversation, not quite as good as the one last Friday, but pretty good for a guy who has a fresh bandage on his head. His therapist, LS, also shared that he has been intentionally using his left hand (eg, to open an envelope).

But, as every silver lining has a cloud, my fear was confirmed: Dad's little jaunt to the ER caused his 14-day covid quarantine to reset. Yesterday had been day 14, but it became day 1. In truth, this is a relatively small limitation, as all group activities (eg, dining) are suspended. Nonetheless, once he gets past 14 days (again), he'll be able to go to the gym for physical therapy and use the full suite of equipment there.
