Busy Week

It has been a busy and exciting week for Bob. Thursday, I had to take Bob with me to the eye doctor. The appointment was for me and normally, I would have left him home with Sarah, but seeing she is in Tennessee, I took him with me. He didn’t like waiting in the waiting room while I had my appointment.

We left the eye doctor and went to Lowes to buy a few odds and ends and I called Pat and Tina and asked if they would like to join us for lunch. We all met up at Steak n’ Shake, one of Bob’s favorite restaurants. Bob got a large chocolate shake and had it finished before his hamburger and fries ever reached the table. Tina asked, “Daddy, how do you drink that so fast without getting a brain freeze?” He looked at her, thought for a minute, and then replied, “I don’t know.” We all laughed.

That night Rob came home with his diploma from college. He got a kick out of showing it to his father. Bob was very proud of his son.

Friday, Rob and I had some running around to do and we dragged Bob with us. We wound up eating lunch at Sonny’s BBQ. That was another nice outing he had.

I have had trouble keeping Bob out of the bed. He seems to think that he can just lie down any time he wants now. I have told him over and over to not get in the bed unless he is sick or sleeping. He isn’t active enough to lie down all the time. He must sit up in the chair to watch TV in his room. It’s bad enough that he goes to bed at 8 PM and gets up at 9 AM. I am now constantly going back to check on him to make sure he isn’t in the bed. He is still doing his exercises, but that isn’t enough activity to keep him from getting pneumonia from lying down.

Try and give him a call this weekend. Encourage him to sit in the chair and get off his behind once in a while.
