Thursday, September 27

Another quiet day on 106th Street.  The only visitor was my friend Anthony, who talked about his own recovery from the effects of having a tumor removed six months ago.  He is still going to Physical Therapy once a week and said that because of his balance and other issues, it is sometimes very hard for him to come up with words at times.  I think that each time David hears about someone else’s struggles, it helps put his own challenges in a context.

Tomorrow we have the meeting with the social worker at 1:30pm, and I will update the blog as soon as I can after that.  In the afternoon we were visited by a woman representing an at home care company who announced that she was visiting to get some information because David was being released soon.  Now, soon is relative, but I was a little shocked and surprised that this would be how the topic would be brought up, and she didn’t have any details or further information.  I guess we will find out tomorrow.  I hope they don’t tell me at 1:30pm that David would be home by 3pm!  Maybe 5pm would be better!!
