Hi WC. I'm actually kind of nervous right now. I called my brother who is still at the hospital with my dad and my brother said he couldn't talk at that time. I got a feeling that my dad is being difficult. I then called my sister's house and briefly talked to my brother-in-law. He also thinks Dad may be trying to weasle out of rehab. I think my brother is arguing with him.

My brother-in-law now says the doctors are thinking about a rehab for Dad in King of Prussia, PA. That's even closer to Philly and further west than the first place we thought they suggested. If he goes there, it will be a pain in the butt for us to visit him. Over an hour drive for both me and my siblings, at best (more with traffic). There's a perfectly good rehab for the elderly just 20 mins easy drive from both me and my siblings (right in between where they live and I live in New Jersey) but that's not considered because Dad HAD to go to the Pennsylvania hospital. I'll admit that the hospital in Dad's county in New Jersey sucks, but he could've likely been referred to the rehab we prefer from there. Both my youngest nephew and I have been to that psych hospital (which is also a rehab) we prefer.

Note to all: The choice of general hospitals (ERs) can determine which psych hospital you are referred to. Especially if it's an out of state general hospital.

There's even a psych hospital/rehab within a 10 minute WALK from my house (35 mins drive from my siblings' houses) though the one that's a 20 bucolic drive away has a special section for the elderly (psych/addiction/dual dx). The one within walking distance of me does not. Anyway, I will just be happy if Dad doesn't weasle out of this. He can go to a rehab in Alaska or Guam for all I care! If he doesn't get himself help, he's going to die.
