Dad was released today just before lunch and has been home for a little while. He is doing okay and is now beginning the insurance filing/communication/ process which is already proving to be dysfunctional.
He also has called his normal orthopedic surgeon to request a second opinion about the shoulder surgery or lack thereof (since the doctors in the hospital seemed to have differing opinions) but that process is apparently more complicated than simply making a phone call. I think that has something to do with the automobile insurance, medical insurance, and Medi-care issues. (He is sixty-five, you know).
He has had some lunch, prepared by my mom, and Mom got his prescriptions filled on the way home from the hospital. Hopefully he will continue to feel better and better. We are still so thankful for the extent of his injuries being only what they are.
Highway 458 between US 62 and KY Highway 55 near Bloomfield, Kentucky south of Taylorsville, Kentucky is the closest place he has pinpointed the location of the accident. The Nelson County Sheriff's Department reported at the scene. Obviously, we are also so thankful that Dad's friend Curt was with him and was so helpful and called the ambulance instead of letting my dad tell him he was okay.
I'll keep posting if anything exciting happens.....he's feeling better and that is great!
We are hoping he stays comfortable and doesn't get ants in his pants while he is letting the collar bone and shoulder blade heal. :-)
