Tuesday, May 31

The last day of May !  It has been four months since Cowboy's stroke and about 2 years since he started having memory problems and confusion.

Has been a quiet holiday.  We did not even leave the house.  I spent more time working on my project over the weekend.  I am down to just a few boxes left to go through.  Keep finding interesting things.

The Nurse Supervisor came by this morning.  She checked his sore and talked to him a while.  He was pretty responsive.  She was really surprised at the fact he actually talked a little bit with her.  They do a review of how their people are performing.  We are fine with Gena.  No problems to report.

My band is coming over this afternoon to jam.  Am looking forward to it.  At the moment Cowboy is sleeping.  He usually does after lunch.  He is definitely eating better and sleeping better and seems more alert.  I think the symptoms associated with the stroke are definitely about over.   I talked to him yesterday and he could not remember our address, could remember the children's names after he thought a little bit but could not name but a couple of the grandchildren.  That is about where we were several weeks ago so not sure there is a lot of deteriation at this point.  He still spends a lot of time napping, a lot of time looking at TV and a lot of time just staring off into the far beyond.  I am going to up our time doing exercises and games.  It is awfully hot to get out and walk
