The visiting nurse and physical therapist are starting to wind down their 
involvement, and we're still working on what we should / can / want to do 
in the way of food and cooking.

He is still understandably bitter, tho not as much from missing mom as from 
just not being able to completely be in control. I still can't tell 
sometimes if he's doing something intentionally wrong just to elicit 
comments from us which he will only criticize. Yet, he has enough 
confidence to go up and down stairs that he is back to consistently 
sleeping (with fewer issues) in his own bed upstairs, and actually went 
down to our cellar for the first time in... who knows, to find a mallet to 
help himself fix a kitchen chair the health care folks encouraged him to 
use (it's older than *moi*, and is the only one with arms; one of the 
under-seat rails was partially out of its attachment to one of the legs, 
making the thing not set completely flat).

The hearing devices are a bonafide smash, but he feels he can still choose 
when and for how long to wear them, and he did make his kids all freak out 
when he used the part of that multi-tool they provide with them that picks 
the wax out of the earpieces for something else, apparently thinking that 
opening the part where each device's battery is stored required it as well 
(uh, no).

Next obstacle: getting him to the ophthalmologist.
