Like many mornings lately, he did not feel well at all and spent the time in bed or on the couch. However, he had to get up and dressed in order to leave for his speech therapy in the early afternoon. He rode on the walker at this end and wheelchair at the hospital but he made it to the appointment and did well there. His voice levels were the loudest he has reached yet (she has a microphone that measures the loudness and he is to aim at getting over 80 which he accomplished more often this time). He also told her his "kidneys" joke - for those of who are familiar with that one.
He felt well enough to go over to Gateway for the graduation this evening. However, the 8pm meds did not kick in and soon he was asking me to please take him home so we did not stay for all of it. Fortunately there were some strong men there to help me get him out to the car - and a couple from our condo were out walking and helped me get him into the apartment. I was very thankful as he was pretty weak.
His side did not seem to be quite as sore today so that was another gain.
Please pray for him to regain some of his strength and wisdom for the doctor to know whether to leave him at this level or increase the meds some more.
Also please pray that I will find someone to drive us into Vancouver for his appointment with the neurologist in mid August. I do not drive in Vancouver and Margie will be away on holiday at that time.
I guess I'd have to split the day again - some of it one thumbs up and some of it one thumbs down..
