Lois received a large number of cards for her birthday on March 10. So many came that she could not read them all. It makes her very tired to read more than a few pages of material. I read most of the cards to her. We then talked about each card and things we remember about the person who sent it. Memory is something that was not affected by the stroke. Lois’s brother Howard is coming to visit in a few days. We also have plans for a couple of outings. I asked Lois the other day if she was tired of being indoors all the time. She shrugged and said no. We are going to a dinner meeting of her old CEL group. (A group of entrepreneurs who get together to talk shop). We are also going to an art auction on Sunday afternoon. Mostly this one is to do something different and of course for the food and drink. The art auction was something that her speech therapist recommended. We were going to do it last year but for some reason did not – could have been weather or Lois was just unable to make it.
