Hello and hope all is as well as can be with everyone. My pals has shifted once more into a weaker state. He has been barely able to lift his can of beer. This sounds like a petty concern but I am certain his beer drinking is what is responsible for his lack of weight loss. His arms are like sticks but his core is in fair weight. Still he has lost approx 45 pounds.
He has refused to allow me to order a lift chair but I feel he really could benifi from it. He can never relax at all during the day as he always has to sit with his head held up by a barely functioning arm. Actually he can only do this by pushing and shoving the arm about but he does manage but not for long I am afraid.
Reading another cals story. "Don't Buy Too Many Green Bananas" Always some more insight into this and that which I am sure is info I can use in the future. I have a huge collection of digital notes from my reads. Many we may not use but many we may.
I am interested in a bidet. But convincing my pals to any new device is difficult. The VA put us in a great new shower with all the bells and whistles so we are fine there.
Reading reminds me of how fortunate I am that my husband is so thoughtful (most of the time) and as concerned with me as I am with him.
Looking forward to our next appointment with Hospital for Special Care. With the exception of our PT and OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST at the VA I find the care from the DR and nurse at the VA severely lacking or almost non existent. Still counting our blessings at this point in time.
We hope to attend our first support group the first week in May. I will probably go alone to see if this will work for us but phil may go. We shall see.
Happy Spring to all. Pat
