This morning I got up and ready to go to the Dentist.  Our first Aide from the new company arrived at 10am.  Her name is Temitayo, and she seemed very nice and after a quick overview of what was needed, I ran out the door.  The appointment didn’t start on time, and went longer than scheduled, so I was getting anxious about how things were going at home, but it was all for naught.  When I got home, the apartment was clean, and David was happy and loved her.  He told me I should ask about her children, and where she lived.  So, it was off to a good start.  I ran out to get some hand rolls for lunch, and as I arrived at the Korean Food Court, I realized that we were expecting another visitor at the exact time I ordered the food and had forgotten my phone at home.  Hatam and Kamran were sitting talking to David when I got back, and the conversation was great.  He is getting better and better at getting his ideas across, and even came out, without prompting with the name of our Grandson – Theo, and David was thrilled when it came out of his mouth.

At 3pm the Lawyer stopped by and executed out wills and living wills, which was short and sweet, which was great.  Once that was done, we watched Downton Abbey, and I won’t give any details away, but both David and I needed kleenex at the end.

The, Siobhan came and had an hour of conversation.  Probably the best part was when she made David tell the story about the Occupational Therapy session where I broke the bed.  He laughed and enjoyed telling it.  I think I will work on getting him to start telling some of his stories again.  He even was able to say Siobhan’s name, which she admits is no easy feat!

Siobhan passed Andrew Brust on her way out, and we had a great conversation with him as well. I am finding that he comes up with words more when in casual conversation, even if it seems halting to the listener, and as I said, it is even better if there is more than one person there participating and prompting.

Isaac found the body of his wife in tonight’s reading, and his relationship with his brother is becoming strained.  Then, object #41 was a seated Buddha from Pakistan.  Now to sleep and an early speech therapy session.
