No adventures today

No adventures, and maybe that is a good thing.  After yesterday!  We didn’t have Speech Therapy this morning, because Karen was taking an extra long weekend.  Good for her, and well deserved!  We had our last session with Maneshka, and part of the session was going downstairs to the cafe, where David had to order a latte.  And he did fine too.  She wants me to have him order something at every meal we have out.  I think, sometimes, when he is put on the spot, he can come up with something.  Like the EMT the other morning.  Then we went home, and had some lunch before heading back over to RUSK for PT.  We didn’t take the wheelchair, and walked down to the lobby and got into a car, and then David walked from the curb up to the gym at RUSK.  The man at the desk was very impressed, and one of our neighbors, who we see walking her dog and having a cigarette in front of the building all the time, was also very impressed and told David she was so happy to see him walking.  From the look on her face, she was very sincere!  It PT we worked with a new piece of equipment that gives Davids right leg electric stimulation to make his foot flex.  Hopefully this will help with his walking and keep his foot from dragging.

Then we watched the last episode of Foyle’s War, or last episode until the next season is available.  Then bed.  I read the blog, and David told me that he did see the man’s hand who was next to him in the ER.  The one with the accident with the saw.  From the look on his face, it wasn’t pretty, and I was lucky to have avoided looking at it.  It still gives me shivers just to think about it.  He also said how much he loved me, and appreciated me.  Very nice to hear, even though I already knew it.  I started reading a new book aloud called Paris Reborn: Napoleon III, Baron Haussmann, and the Quest to Build a Modern City.  It is interesting so far, and looks like it will be full of politics and, of course, history.  It was recommended by Luba, thanks.  I thought it would be good to read as we get ready for visits to Paris.
