Today I could tell that Tommy was worried about something, and he finally asked: How will he get into the house when he comes home? I explained to him, step by step, exactly how it will work with the ramp at the front of the house.
Prior to Tommy's return, Tim--his physical therapist--will visit our house and make any recommendations about what else we still need to do to make it "Tommy friendly." All of the area rugs are gone, of course; and the threshholds between rooms have been streamlined to prevent stumbling. It's great that it's a one-story house, with the porch and back deck also easily accessible--only the rec room at the far end will be inaccessible to Tommy, at least for a while, as it is one step down from the rest of the house. The other big modification--the shower that will go into the master bathroom--is still awaiting completion pending delivery of the shower floor.
