I took Cowboy to IHOP yesterday morning and then we went to WalMart to pick up some gauze pads and gauze wraps for his knee. It is going to run about $4 a day to do this. We are looking at weeks. I wonder if insurance will do anything? Must check.
The physical therapist started coming again this morning. He did a series of exercises with Cowboy and measured how he compares with others his age (81). Cowboy is not quite up to what is considered normal for his age. For instance it took him 17 seconds to do something it should take 13 seconds to do.
He offered to contact the occupational therapist about some more help from him on cognitive things but I said to wait until I spoke with the doctor. Not sure how much value it would have.
I was notified by the VA that beginning Dec 1 we are back to paying for Marsha. We moved from having it paid to the waiting list. They can only do so many at a time. Funding issue I guess.
I got all the packages boxed up and filled with bubble wrap and then went and stood in line to get them shipped. There is a place nearby and Cowboy was watching TV. I told him I would be back in 20 minutes. Unfortunately, there was a long line and it was about 45 minutes before I got back home. I was nervous he would forget where I was and come looking for me. He has done that a couple of times. He had gotten himself a glass of eggnog and was watching Bonanza. No problems.
