You can use grace days on all PPS assessments. You can take up til day 94, so you can choose day 94, which would be 10-12 for your 90 day assessment and that would give you at least 3 days of therapy, if you don't have it on the weekend.  You might get a rehab RUG or not, depending on how many minutes he would get.  Sometimes you don't get a rehab RUG.
