Hello everyone. I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter holiday; we certainly did! Lindsay & Dave hosted this year’s gathering and did a great job with the crawfish boil, and then the rest of us brought traditional dishes such as ham, potato casserole, green bean casserole, a relish tray, and the best part of the meal … desserts!! I made my annual “bunny cake” that I have made ever since Lindsay was a toddler, and both my sister-in-law and Lindsay’s mother-in-law made “ME” their delicious hand-rolled sugar cookies with icing! Barb even cut out hers in the shape of a bunny, which made them taste even better (ha!).As you know, George has been going to out-patient therapy now for about three weeks. He is back at Katy Rehab Hospital, which has recently been purchased by the Memorial Hermann H
ospital system. In fact, George is somewhat of a celebrity … Clutch, the Houston Rockets’ mascot, was making an appearance for Memorial Hermann and he took a picture with George and supposedly it is going to be in their upcoming newsletter. As soon as I get a copy of it, we’ll be sure to put it on the blog! In the meantime, here is a picture of George holding the autographed book that Clutch gave him. George’s new “dream team” of therapists pictured above include Paige, his physical therapist, Darrell, his occupational therapist, and Jerry, a therapy assistant. Paige is concentrating on improving George’s balance to get him walking, and Darrell is working with George to become more independent in regard to his personal care/needs, as well as getting that right hand working better. I must say that I have seen a big improvement in this area (the death grip is fading away!), and as Darrell tells George, your right hand now works, you just have to remember to use it! This morning, George actually folded towels for me that came out of the dryer, and when I saw what a great job he did there, I also dumped the white load of laundry beside him on the couch and he matched his socks and folded his underwear! I wonder if I could pay Darrell on the side to teach George how to run the vacuum and mop the floor from his wheelchair?!? This guy is GOOD!P.S. I am very close to posting before and after pictures of the remodeled hallway bathroom. I just need to get a few minor touch-ups done in there, and we are still waiting for a bronze sleeve for the exposed pipe underneath the sink, and then we’ll be ready for the reveal, so stay posted
