Jim wants out of here real bad!

The doctors say that he should be able to go back to the apartment by the weekend.  We're over the hump.  It's only downhill from here on out.  The Speech Therapist came in this morning and did an evalution.  He's able to swallow small amounts of water now.  He actually ate some Jello too.  Things are looking up. He went for a walk with the Physical Therapist yesterday.  Yeah!  PT says Jim & I can go for walks by ourselves now and we need to do that at least three times a day.   He's still pretty tired though.  He is just not getting a good nights rest.  Joe Miles is coming for a visit today.  Jim is looking forward to that.  I feel comfortable going back to the apartment at night now.  Jim is using the Nurse's call button and is a lot more coherent than he was.  Plus, he's talking.  What a relief.   I trust that he is in good hands here while I'm away.   I know that I need to be well rested before he comes home since I will be the only one taking care of him day and night.  Need to pick up some last minute supplies today.  And I think I may pamper myself with a pedicure while Joe is here visiting Jim.  Everyone tells me I gotta take care of myself too.
