This morning started a little rough because Archie did not eat any breakfast. Therefore, he was very lethargic and tired. He did go on a walk with the walker and the physical therapist. The physical therapist suggested that in-patient rehab might be beneficial for Archie. We were supposed to talk to a rehab person and a social worker, but no one ever showed up.
He finally ate lunch and got a lot more energy and was more energetic. He went on a walk with me down the hall and back. Then, he took a little nap. A physical therapist showed up for an afternoon walk and this time he did it without a walker.
The doctor said he was not ready to be released today but maybe tomorrow. My mother harassed Archie about going on a wheelchair walk until he finally consented. We went downstairs and outside for the first time in five weeks. We spent about ten minutes outside. Afterwards, Archie thanked my mom for the harassment and said he enjoyed the ride. Since then, he's been napping and he ate his dinner. He will hopefully sleep for the rest of the night.
