Wow! I can’t believe that is has been this long since I have done an update. Everything is going great. Lois has settled into her home and has been busy rearranging things to meet her current needs. We are very pleased with all the new aids, and we are continuing the 24-hour coverage for a while longer. It is important that Lois feel comfortable and safe before we loosen up on that. I go most days and have lunch with Lois. It reminds us of the other times as we almost always had lunch together every day. Her appetite has been good and she has been eating more at each meal. Weinberg food was good but being home and home cooked food is better. Lois’ stove has never been used so much! Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the stroke. I told Lois that we should have a cake and start counting like birthdays all over again. We laughed. Lois has so many people coming and going at the house, it seems like Grand Central sometimes. One day last week when I was there with Lois and one of her aids, the nurse came from the home care company, then her PT showed up early and then the plumber arrived to fix the bathroom sink and then her lawn service arrived to work in the yard. I told Lois, “I have to go. It is too crowded here!”
