Several friends have asked lately about the best time to stop in and say hi to Tommy at Renaissance rehab. The best time is on weekends in either the morning or afternoon (say, between 10 to 12 in the morning, and 2 to 5 in the afternoon); or on weekday afternoons between around 3 and 5. Mealtime is not the best visiting time, because Tommy still requires the aid of another person, and the speech therapists want him to concentrate on eating and not much else. Renaissance rehab is about a half-hour north of our house. It's on the north side of Rt. 24, the route that runs between Rt. 113 at Millsboro and the "ocean highway" (Route 1); it's just about exactly midway between Millsboro at the west end and the Rt. 1 at the east end. If you have any questions, give me a call at 302-539-8079. If I'm not home, the phone will ring about a dozen times before voice mail kicks in; that's because it's set on "maximum number of rings" to give Tommy time to get to the phone.
