Good report from the Doctor

Bob had a great report from the neurologist. His medication was increased because he is still stooped when he walks, and doesn’t have much facial expressions. The doctor was pleased with the way Bob can stand from a chair and walk across the room. He is doing very well. Now if I can just get him to get out of the chair and move some that would be fabulous.

Sarah had a birthday this last weekend. We had fun celebrating it with her. Lesa, Bob’s niece, sent presents for Bob as well. So Sarah and Bob opened presents together. It was like Christmas. Bob got some new shorts. He needed them. Thanks Lesa for thinking of your Uncle.

Tina came over this week and cut her Father’s hair. We brought him outside and gave him chocolate donut holes while Tina cut his hair. At that moment life just couldn’t get much better. After his haircut, I told him to go shave and get cleaned up. After it was all done he looked polished once again.

Last night Pat and Tina brought Pat’s homemade lasagna over for dinner. After dinner we went outside and sat on the back porch. Bob was sharing stories about fishing on the lake, old neighbors who have long moved away, and the time he went down the river in a canoe with his buddies. They were all stories we have heard a hundred times before, but we sat, listened, smiled, and filled in the blanks when he needed help, which wasn’t that often.

Give him a shout this week. He misses you all and speaks of you all often.
