Medications are a good example of the new challenges being home brings. When Greg was at UPMC Southside, trained professionals were around to make sure he received meds on a specific timetable. Now that he's home, the burden is on Greg and Jess to make sure he's taking everything and isn't accidentally skipping doses or taking too much medication.
Of course, the flip side of being home is that, at UPMC Southside, Greg's main function of the day was rehab, with a lot of downtime. At home, he's constantly learning and testing his limits in conversation, walking stairs, using his right hand doing the things he has to do every day, etc.
Greg will be continuing formal rehabilitation three days a week. We're not quite sure of the schedule yet, but we're confident that he'll continue to improve with outpatient rehab and everything he's doing on a daily basis at home.
Its awesome to hear that Greg is already home. I just know his recovery will continue at an amazing pace and he will be back to the Ripper we all know and love.

Take care. -Brian
