David had Occupational Therapy this morning with Maneshka, which went very well.  She had to do some testing for a report to Oxford – yes, it is already time to go through the process of requesting more sessions with Oxford.  My understanding is that the therapists have to walk a fine line between he’s doing well, but not well enough to stop therapy.  So ridiculous.  She believes that there won’t be any problem with more sessions, but you never know.  Hopefully there won’t be any delays this time.  I will find out tomorrow from PT when the request goes in, and begin calling Oxford to make sure that everything goes through.

A portion of the therapy this morning was spent with David wanting to know how Maneshka’s date was over the weekend.  I guess she mentioned something on Friday, and David wanted every detail.  I don’t remember hearing anything about a date, but who knows what I was doing.  The date went well though, and there is another one this weekend.  She was surprised that David remembered.

We went home after the session, and relaxed before heading back for a follow-up appointment with Dr. Blum, the Neurologist.  She was very impressed by David’s improved speech and movement.  David never believes it when I tell him he is doing well, but he believed Dr Blum.  We are making some adjustments to his medications to help with the lingering pain in his side.  She thinks it is probably some neurological pain associated with the stroke, so we are dropping one drug, adding one, and increasing the dose of another.  David also wanted me to share that he got on the scale today, and he weighs in at 151 lbs, which pleased him, but it shocked and, quite honestly, annoyed me.  He weighs less than 3/4 of my weight.  You can do the math, but it is pretty irritating.

Speaking of fat, I found the name of the restaurant that Julia and Paul went to – Le Grand Véfour.  Tonight we watched a bit of Dancing with the Stars, then to bed, the blog, Julia continues classes at Cordon Bleu, Paul is becoming a wine expert and her sister is running around Paris in her Citroën.  Then, the object was an Early Victorian Tea Set.  Number 92.
