Two Weeks

These last two weeks have felt like an eternity. We need to move closer to Wallingford. A place that's all one floor, or at least has a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, and has room for our horse. Anything like that available nearby?
Rob's tentative discharge from Gaylord is August 20th. They're trying to get approval for him to be discharged to the Taurig House, right here at Gaylord.
The Taurig House is the only transitional living center in Connecticut for people with acquired brain injury. It's a second step after inpatient rehabilitation specific to people who aren't quite ready to go home after discharge because of lingering issues. The typical stay there is about two months depending on progress and goals. There are only 8 beds, though, and we're not sure Rob's insurance will cover the program.
If Rob is accepted to continue his care at the Taurig House, he would be allowed to go home on weekends. He'd be able to leave after therapies Friday evenings and wouldn't be required to return until Sunday evening, whether he left for the whole weekend, a day out, or whatever.
Right now, we have 15 days to go at Gaylord.
