Today we headed out to the Podiatrist to take care of David’s sore toe.  He had (emphasis on the had) an ingrown toenail that has been bothering him before Sandy.  The Dr fixed the problem very quickly.  The substitute aide, Merrick, helped get David to the Doctor, which was great.  We then headed back home, and soon had a surprise visit from Marilyn Milloy, it was great to see her, and David was very pleased with the visit.  Then the Speech Therapist from the MJHS came to work with David.  It was a short session, and I was pleased to see that David was able to communicate with her, without too much of my input.

After she left, Chrissie came by before her dinner meeting here in NY, and it was also a great visit, and we had lots to talk about.  Then Judith Honor from UNIS stopped by and they overlapped briefly.  Judith filled David in on the goings on at UNIS, and he loves getting these updates and being involved.  Finally, Siobhan came by and had a great session with David.  She works David pretty hard, and he likes it.

After everyone was gone, we took Chrissie’s cue and made the “Autumn Cocktail” that she told us about and had a great dinner sitting at the table.  I rearranged the living room a little so David can sit at the table for dinner.

Tomorrow we are going to the theatre, which will be fun and an experiment.  Not sure how I am going to deal with transportation, but I will deal with that when it happens!  I am sure that there was something that David wanted me to say here, but I can’t remember (a common problem) and David is fast asleep, so, it will have to wait until tomorrow, or maybe never.
