A small report

There isn’t a whole lot to report on with Bob. He went to the dentist this last Thursday. He had a filling that needed fixing. The dentist told me that Bob doesn’t brush his teeth well and he doesn’t clean his dentures. I knew this, but besides brushing his teeth for him, I really don’t know what to do. The dentist told me that as long as we get him in every three months for a deep cleaning he should be alright. We just don’t want to have to pay for a new set of dentures.

Bob doesn’t do much of anything anymore. It is getting harder and harder for me to take him places. Because of that I have to wait for Rob to help me take him places.

Rob has been playing with Johnny and this last week the band played at the Harley Davidson dealership here in Orlando. Pat and Tina, Rob’s sister, came out and joined in on the festivities. They had some BBQ and some great hot weather. It sure seems a lot hotter this year from last.

Bob is wearing gloves on his hands now. The gloves cover his hands up so that he doesn’t pick at age spots and cause sores. He tells me that he actually like the gloves because they keep his hands warm and his fingers poke out so he can still use his hands. I was a little afraid he would take them off, but he says he likes them and keeps them on all the time. They were very inexpensive and I bought a dozen pairs so I keep them changed out quite a lot.

I don't have any new pictures to post this week. It has been hard without my computer. We are hopeful to have my computer back and running in a week or two.

Thanks to everyone who sent Bob sympathy cards this last week. He enjoyed getting mail. I have them set around his room.
