Wednesday, October 26

I slept in this morning.  It was wonderful.  Must have been about 8:30 when I got up.  I have to say though, the dog was wanting her breakfast !

A friend who is a nurse at the rehab facility told me that they actually prefer that visitors wait until after therapy sessions have concluded to visit.  Will be doing that from here on.  Of course, the written material they gave me says visitors are welcome anytime and they like for a family member to observe the therapy.  I noticed, though, I was the only one there yesterday.

The neighborhood ladies had a luncheon today and it was great to just sit and visit without any time constraints. 

Cowboy was complaining of being too warm in the sweatpants I bought so I then went to Bealls who was having a buy one get one for a dollar and bought him two pair of shorts.

When I went to visit this afternoon he was sitting in the break room having coffee.  We played checkers.  He beat me the firt time.  But the second time he kept making mistakes (like jumping the wrong color, etc) so I concluded his brain was not working too well.  He was always a very sharp person when it came to games and such but no more.  I may buy some checkers for home.  Maybe it will be good for him.

He changed into the shorts I brought and seemed really happy to have them.  The social worker came by and we talked about home care and such.

When I left I went to Walgreens and bought a walker with a seat and brakes.  Caught it on sale !!

He gets out of rehab on Friday and we go to see the surgeon that day at 11AM.
