Where are we today?
Stratford Ontario
Sleeping well still is a good thing, really enjoying it.
For lunch, George had a Chicken Stuffing Casserole. The soup was for me to add to my sandwich I brought from home. He only wanted a small portion but I didn't tell the cook that. He ate the whole thing.
He can now transfer himself between the Lazy Boy chair and the wheelchair using the walker. This is unassisted but a spotter is still required. He also has checked out that when he gets stronger, he can leave the hospice for a couple of hours and come back. They are suggesting he use the wheelchair. He is now thinking about Fish & Chips at Annies Seafood (https://anniesseafood.ca/) for lunch one day and being at the apartment. This was the restaurant his daughter #2, family and myself went a bit ago. We will see how soon.
About 2 today my Aunt Delores, Uncle Earlus and cousin Carl came for a visit. Carl brought the beer below from his home area near Ottawa. He displayed the cans and it looks like a tractor. Also included in the box was a glass.
Delores & Earlus brought a bunch of goodies, chocolate, home made Christmas goodies and 3 meals that I can heat up for myself.
We had a very nice visit. I took Delores & Earlus on a tour of the facility while Carl talked with George. While on the tour, we stopped by another resident who we know. Her husband was with her and invited us in. Those of you who know my Uncle, know he is quite the talker.
We had a great visit with the usual kidding around. George mentioned after they left, he doesn't know when he last had a conversation with Carl. We don't see him and his family very much as we are usually gone during the winter and they live in Ottawa.
It was really nice to see these guys and enjoyed their visit.
Of course, George's beer of choice today was one that Carl brought.

Very tricky Suzie but good idea to fill the plate and let George's stomach to decide on how much. So special George that you got chat in with Carl. Keep enjoying each day to the fullest, as we all should be doing. Oh and don't forget to enjoy all those special Christmas goodies you received. Thank again Suzie for keeping the blog up. You are such an Awesome Duo.

DeleteSuzie is doing and great job with the blog glad she agreed and is actually enjoying it.
Glad to hear you are getting stronger every day George. Looks and sounds like a wonderful visit. I agree with Contessa, best to let George's stomach decide when he's full. Keep on smiling.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb feeling better every day and enjoying the visits.
DeleteLOL problem is my stomach never quite knows when it is full until too later.
You are one step closer to your Webber Q George. What a reunion that is going to be:))
