Hi Everyone,

Hal is doing fine at Chatsworth.

They are working him hard in physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. He isn't always happy, but I remind him of how lucky he is and how far he has come. His long term memory is good, but short-term memory is not so good. He does not remember the accident at all or the many weeks he spent in ICU.

The visiting hours are very lenient, but the therapy sessions are scheduled sporadically, on weekdays. I have found the mid to late afternoon usually works the best, BUT there are no guarantees. On sat. and sun. they have less therapy, so more free time.

Chatsworth is very easy to get to. From Mirasol: Take PGA to Ryder Cup Blvd through PGA National to Northlake Blvd. Turn left on Northlake and make the very first left turn. You will be crossing the oncoming traffic onto Hiatt Drive. staying on that road, Chatsworth is a two story bldg., yellow and pink to the right.

Friends visiting are very helpful, but please don't be offended if he does not recognize you...just tell him who you are.

Once again, I thank all of you for your caring and support.

Love, Linda
