Hoping for discharge

Dad's spirits are improving daily and the hospital staff are thinking he will be ready to be discharged tomorrow!  Of course, the final say will be from the physician who makes the rounds in the morning.  We are definitely keeping our fingers crossed because Dad is getting a serious case of "cabin fever."  He is able to get out of bed with assistance and sit in a chair in the hospital room for a short while, but he is not able to leave the room. He can't sit for too long in the chair, either, because of the pressure on his hip.  Perhaps once he is out of the hospital and is admitted to a rehab / convalescent center, Mom and I can begin to get a teensy bit more rest each day.
