It was a marvelous day.  David had two speech therapy sessions – one with Arlene at the Eisenhower Medical Center and another at the Stroke Recovery Center with Mary.  The second one was with another stroke survivor named Jeffrey.  He seems like a very nice guy, and David was impressed with his progress.  He had his stroke six months ago.  His speech is much better than David’s but, he still has some trouble coming up with words.  I think that it might be a very good match.

Before we started the day, we had a nice chat with Alex from his office in Paris.  Work seems to be going well, and things are settling down, but they are still waiting for their internet to be hooked up.  Once that is done, we can start our FaceTime meetings again.

As soon as we got home from the second speech therapy, I began cooking for our dinner guests tonight.  It was great to see Stuart and York, and we had a lovely evening talking about family stuff and life in general.  It was great for David to have other folks to talk with, and while he doesn’t think so, he did really well.  He also stayed up and attentive much longer than usual.  After Stuart and York were on their way, we just read the blog and a tiny bit of the book.  Tennis tomorrow morning!
