On Thursday, Chris and I went to Moss Rehab for an evaluation for him to get an electric wheelchair. Of course they said he qualifies under his insurance because of the many diagnosis he has. Especially because of his diabetes and always the chance of skin breakdown. He had a really good time. They actually put him in the chair and had him out in the parking lot driving. He seemed very happy to have "freedom." Not having to depend on me to get around. The darn thing actually has a horn on it. I asked the vendor if the chair came with steel tipped shoes for the spouse? :hahaha:

During his next "driving lesson" the inpatient liason will be at the session. The physical therapist feels that he may also qualify for an inpatient rehab stay. We have been told by many, many people that if Chris could get into Moss or Magee in Philadelphia that he should definitely go.

I hope that he could get approved for this. I feel that a rehab that specializes in brain injury could really help Chris achieve some independence which he really needs. He often will make comments that he feels that he is a burden to me because I do everything.

It will be very difficult not to have him here, I know that I will be lost for a period of time because my days are filled with taking care of him - but I want him to go. I think it actually would be good for Chris and I to have some time apart. He is really dependent upon me for everything.

So we say some prayers and hope for the best.
