I am thankful today for David and his tenacity.  We had been debating whether we would use the wheelchair to go to Thanksgiving dinner or us the hemi walker, and when we woke up this morning, David announced that we would use the walker.  We didn’t have an aide today, so I got him up and showered in time for a visit from Liza and Jon.  It was great to see them both, and we had some nice lively discussion, and I now know that I have to order out more and not cook so much.  Who knew?

We left at about 4:30pm for the ride uptown to Nancy and Peter’s apartment on CPW.  It was a very nice dinner, and great company – Nancy’s Mom Norma, her aide, their daughter Rebecca, Frank, David and Me.  After dinner the dessert guests began arriving, and David started fading.  We made it to the apartment without too much stress, and the same for getting to the car on the way out – even with the steps in the lobby.  I was very impressed, and told David so.  Altogether, it was a great evening – thanks Nancy and Peter!
