Tuesday, December 11

First, David wanted me to let everyone know that he was helping with the Holiday cards yesterday.  He was putting the return address labels on, which was very helpful.  He will also put stamps on as soon as I get them tomorrow.

Today we went and got blood drawn, stopped by the eyeglass store to have them adjust David’s new glasses and then went to the barber.  David had a haircut and shave, and I just got the haircut.  Then, home and went to lunch with Anthony at the Korean food court on 32nd Street.  It was nice to get out and great to spend time with Anthony.  When I got home, it was almost time for Diane the Occupational Therapist to arrive.  She came and did some work with David, and at the end, the tray that she ordered for his wheelchair arrived, but I had them take it back because it didn’t really work.  I think because the one chair has shorter arm rests and the transfer chair has arm rests that are higher, it doesn’t work on either.  Also, David is spending less time in the wheelchair, so it just doesn’t make sense anymore.

As Diane was leaving, Siobhan arrived, and had a great hour of speech therapy.  Also did some exercises throughout the day.  All in all a good day, and we ended it by watching The Bourne Legacy which David really liked, I thought the chase at the end was about a mile too long.
