Doctors, tests, therapy and more
We had a nice weekend weather wise with cooler temps. I guess we were luckier than most, although it's dry as a bone and no rain coming. Last Friday Larry went for more Botox in his shoulder, arm and hand. He said it didn't hurt as much this time. Maybe he is getting use to it. The doctor wrote a script for OT & PT therapy but Larry has to be evaluated first. It is only for 4 weeks but we will take what we can. It is hard to schedule the therapists we want but I succeeded. I hope they don't do a switcharoo on the OT as I will stand my ground again. I'm hoping the OT will try something different this time, but I don't have my hopes up too much. I asked Larry if he was willing to go out to eat and he said "yes". It took him forever to decide on something as nothing really appealed to him. He finally picked the meatloaf dinner. He said it was not as good as mine but he did well on eating it. Saturday I stayed home, gave Larry his shower and got him ready for church. We had one of the younger pastors speak. Looking at him, he seems too young but he is truly a gifted speaker. They usually have people stand at the beginning and greet those around you. Sometimes the pastor's get a brilliant idea and add things. Once the pastor was talking about John Lennon, the Beatle. He said stand up and greet your neighbor, and say what your favorite Beatle song is. I could only think "Yesterday". When you think of the lyrics, that could apply to Larry and I both. The lady in front said "I Want to Hold Your Hand". LOL
Sunday, I was able to talk Larry into going to Walmart with me. I thought since it was Sunday, it wouldn't be as crowded. Wrong! A lot of the families were there so people had to dodge Larry in the electric cart. That was stressful. I think I'll go by myself next time. LOL We spent most of the time watching baseball on TV and then CNN with coverage of "Irene". So sad to see all the damage. I think that is worse than our tornados.
Today I took Larry for his sleep apnea conference. We met with a Nuerologist first, and then we will be scheduled for the sleep test. I think the Nuero was pretty sure he had sleep apnea. This is just one more thing to deal with. You know who will have to help him with this at night. I may not have sleep apnea, but I will have sleep deprivation. :head_hurts:
Larry is reading again. He wants to check out another book so that is a plus.
Saying prayers for those that had hurricane damage.
