Well, William had no hesitation. The choice was the pool today, Saturday and no pool tomorrow so that he can watch the superbowl. I told him that if no pool today then definitely pool on Sunday. Well, what a response. "Let's go to the pool now." I don't often get tha repsonse.

 

William cognition is definitely getting better. He is able to decide what he does and does not want to do. He wants to watch the superbowl...no questions asked.

 

Out neighbor is the hospital. We found out late on Friday night. William suggest at 8:ooPM that we go and visit her in the hospital. I said let's go. Hey, if William is in the mood. Yes, let's walk to the car and go out. She of course appreciate the visit. William remembers from his long visit in the hospital that visitors are really appreciated.

 

It was raining this morning so I had postponed the pool outing until the afternoon. this worked out well. Wm relaxed in the morning and was ready for the pool in the evening.

 

I had a store meeting with staff at Starbucks in the evening. William came and enjoyed the meeting and his coffee.

 

Wm came home and decided that he needed to get to bed. He is tired. and I get some free time to blog on the computer.

 

Friday I brought my lunch home and William loved it. We had ordered Vietnamese food. William decided that he really liked it.

He finished it off. At dinner time he tells me that he would like more of the same. I told him that I was not going to go out and buy any Vietnamese food. I was home for the evening.

 

It is amazing this meat and potatoes fellow is still branching out and enjoying other types of ethnic food.

Good for you and good for William. With his enjoyment of getting out to do things and eating, it is so much easier and enjoyable for you.

 

I still have hope for Larry. We have a Dr. and dentist appt. this week. I'm looking forward to getting help from the Dr. I dread the dentist appt., as Larry will have trouble with the coughing.

 

Have a good week and I will see you in chat.

Ruth: Isn't it wonderful when finally they seem to be with it-in life, not just watching it and hoping someone will tell them what is next? Even just having a normal conversation is a gift.

 

What I am so in awe of is William's stamina has seemed to have improved so much. Going out at 8pm at night would overwhelm Bruce. William gets up close to the same time as Bruce and yet he is still able to get up and go after dinner. I am wondering if that is also a benefit from all the swimming. I know he has his down times, but those rests seem to really benefit him and give him strength.

 

Try to find some places that will deliver. I bet he would also now enjoy Thai and Korean and there may be some local small places where he could experiment and you do not have to go out. When our kitchen at work does a special lunch, I always order two. Saves me a meal and usually something I would not think of preparing.

 

That little vacation in the car is looking very good. Good week, honey and hope you both are enjoying the game. Debbie
