The lady from Visiting Angels came today. Her name is Marsha. She seems very personalble and capable. I left about 10:30 after showing her around and had a pedicure, lunch and did some shopping. We have a new grandaughter coming in May so I bought a few things for her. Also found the telephone I was looking for and a medical bracelet. Now I will have to call the telephone company and get a line run.
Marsha changed the sheets and washed them, tidied the kitchen, fixed Cowboy lunch. She told me she tried to get him to do the therapy exercises but he just wouldn't do it. I talked to him about it tonight and hopefully he will try next time.
Yesterday had been really busy. Had speech therapy and then physical therapy and then some fellow musicians came over for a jam at 1:30. By the time we had dinner I was ready to watch TV and "veg" out. Cowboy actually seems a little more alert the last couple of days. However, when I ask him questions he still has trouble with what year it is, etc. I was drying him off yesterday morning and asked him our anniversay and he got that right. I told him that was the most important thing ! It is just so unpredictable from one day to the next what he will be able to remember and what he will try to do and what he just won't do.
We have a flagpole on our house and for many years Cowboy never missed a day putting the flag out. That changed a few months ago. Now he remembers it maybe one day out of 10. It is out today.
