I told my sis that makes me cautiously optimistic. She agreed. He can be quite fickle, so it's possible that decision will change as the day for the transfer nears. The psychologist said they are still trying to secure a bed at the alcohol rehab. She said that if they cannot get the bed right away that they do NOT want him to return home. They would rather find him space in a temporary assisted living facility. [People, places, and things are a real issue, so going home now is risky.]
I do want to add that Dad looks and sounds better after all these weeks, but it's up to him to stay that way.

Hi Lady!
I smile every time I see you dancing.
Thank you!
I am going to try to get a haricut today, too.
I hope your dad will have the courage to follow through!
Yes, people dealing with addictions can be very fickle when it comes to recovery. (I have driven my brother to the door of the rehab a few times, only to have him run.
In my case, I had to keep trying, hoping that one day he'd be able to enter the door to the facility.)
It's incredibly encouraging, in my experience, when our loved ones start to look so much better!
Many Hugs and Lots of Love!
