I found tickets to the "Color Purple" It will be at the Hobby Center this Sunday. It is a Theater under the Stars production. We had season tickets...I had to forgo all of the venues this year. But, this is the last one. I picked up the phone yesterday and asked if I could exchange the tickets for wheelchair accessable one. They said yes. So ...Sunday evening we will be going down to the Hobby center. William says that he doesn't hear well. But, he heard me exchanging the tickets. He is excited about going. Now, I just have to figure out the logistics. Where exactly is handicapped parking. I will drive down today and just check it out. William is snoring this morning. I will let him sleep in. Then off to the pool we go.

I do believe that William's hearing is selective. He hears things that I don't want him to and doesn't hear things that I want him to. He actually does have hearing aids. But, I believe that his hearing has improved since the stroke.

The decreased hours for caregivers seems to be working out. I leave him in bed for a nap for an hour between when I leave for work and they come. They put William back into bed at 9PM and I get home at 10PM. This is better. He was complaining of being up in the chair too much. This way he is more comfortable and gets a little more rest. Nobody is around to keep him up. At first, he got panicky. He insisted that he had to use the urinal and couldn't by himself. Luckily we have lots of neighbors. The first day he called one and she came and assisted. The second day he called another and she came and helped. We are very blessed.
