Indeed. All of you in the U.S. Happy Thanksgiving. :y115:
Thank you, Rocky. We had a really good Turkey Day. We brought Dad home from rehab on Wednesday so I am very thankful that he is doing well and that Mae Lyne is doing well and cancer free.
Glad to hear the good family news :y18:
Thanks, Rocky.

Yes, he is home to stay. He is about 95% of where he was before his fall. He has a followup doctor's appointment tomorrow and I expect he will be cleared to drive again. He does use a cane most of the time now; but mainly as a precaution. He does not need it to routinely walk; but he does need it for uneven or sloped surfaces.
What caused his fall is that his right leg drags just a little bit. When he built this house in 1947, he was in his mid 20's. The steps have an 8 inch (20.3 cm) rise. That was fine for them then. The recommended rise for disabilities is 4 inches (10.2 cm). Had the steps had a 4 inch rise, he would not have fallen. The rise from ground level to the door is 30 inches (76.2 cm). The door is at the top step; there is no landing. We are having a six foot deck built over the steps, level with the doorway entry and steps with a 4 inch rise leading down from the deck. If the time comes, we can add a wheelchair ramp.
