Where are we today?
Stratford Ontario
Looks like we both had a good nights sleep.
I did some grocery shopping this morning and when I got to see George, he was in his lazy boy chair. They like the idea of him being this chair better than the bed, since it will keep his feet elevated.
After lunch, daughter #1 and myself continued to do some decorating. We put lights around the big window in his room and moved the tinsel to over the fireplace. Lighting was not co-operating, so no pictures of the rest of the room.
Shortly after we finished decorating, his son arrived. Of course, these two hadn't seen the facility, so into the wheelchair and away we went. He really likes showing off this place.
Daughter #1 and Son.
I left early today, if you call 4 pm early. I am quite confident with the staff and know that they will take good care of him.
Today, he walked from the bathroom back to his bed, of course with a spotter to ensure he didn't fall. I don't know how many steps he took, but definitely more than 10.

George, your place is starting to look pretty homey.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen feeling pretty comfy right now especially with family and friends.
DeleteGeorge's 'walkabout' of 10 steps is a start! Great having a room full of family and love, with George in his iconic vest and hat. Your decorations look nice. Thanks Suzie!
ReplyDeleteYes Jeff every step feels better get things moving again. Suzie is doing a great jib here too.
DeleteIt's a good thing you were there to help that Spotter help you to the washroom and back. Those Spotters can sometimes fall down and go boom. Both you and the Christmas decorations are looking great. I think the staff there should give you tag saying, 'Official Tour Guide'.
ReplyDeleteGotta watch these spotters ya know. Our place is coming together and getting into the season feels great. I like to show off this place an amazing facility.
DeleteWaht a great picture for the opener of this blog post. Nice visitors again today. Room is looking great and George doing a walkabout make me happy to read this.
ReplyDeleteHave another great nights sleep for you both
Thanks JO if was an awxcellent day no complaints here at all. and we di have a pretty good sleep too..
DeleteIt's beginning to look like Christmas in there. Nice that he is doing some easy, supervised walking. His legs are used to moving.
ReplyDeleteHope you have another wonderful sleep, both of you.
Thanks Patsy Christmas soon be here and we are ready. The walking feels good and so are we.
DeleteThe place is looking very festive Suzie, great job. George you are looking awesome, it's always a treat to see your smiling face!! Keep on walking George, every step is a bonus.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb things are feeling festive and right in the mood thanks. Every step is a bonus too.

ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy feeling better every day and enjoying every minute of it too. Goos sleeps sure help as well.

ReplyDeleteChris Christ is another favorite time off year for us as well.
DeleteGeorge always has his hat and a smile. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys hat and smile always makes me feel great.
DeleteIf George has his hat and vest on, all is right with the world! 😁
ReplyDeleteYes Peter you are right.
DeleteNice that daughter #1 and son came to visit and that you got some more decorations done! George looks good in the recliner. I love how he likes to show the place off, it is beautiful! Nice you went home a little early, hopefully you got some rest Suzie!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great visit with just the kids . I am very comfortable here no complaints and such a beautiful place to show off loving it here.
DeleteSeems George is on the mend. The hospice here in Arizona are not so accommodating or let you stay in facility unless unable to eat, walk, or function much. My poor sister under hospice care was not able to walk to bathroom yet they wouldn't admit her to their facility where the bathrooms, showers, etc. are available. Sister died at home without a decent shower because her home bathroom was not disable friendly. I'm glad the hospice in Canada is more friendly and accommodating. I've had two other hospice experience here in Arizona with family members and they were put in a hospice facility and cared for until they passed. Take care George and keep a good outlook as you always have to a complete recovery.
ReplyDeleteSorry other about your sister, Hs hospice only has 10 rooms and was 15 years in the planing only one around here ,i am so happy i was able to be admitted , as you can see it is beautiful. and caring.
DeleteAnother great day. You're looking stronger each day. That is a great place to live till you're ready to go home.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doug it sure is a wonderful place , so comfortable , bright and cheery .
DeleteYou are very lucky indeed..Here in Washington state one has to pay to be in a hospice and they don't look like the one you are residing in..If you own anything you pay here and many are unable to get into one at all, the waiting times are ridiculous, many stay in their homes and have their mates/wives and family do everything..hoping you will be feeling no pain whatsoever and enjoy the holidays..praying for your daily..
ReplyDeleteWe are ver lucky here in Canada , may pay hight taxes but at this time in my life is paying back big time. Thanks for the prayers.
DeleteYour one day at a time policy is certainly working out. Lovely to have your family visiting, even better that Suzie is relaxed enough to leave early.
ReplyDeleteIt is saying off big time and feeling great and pain free sure is nice, They do take great care of us here too!
DeleteThe more pictures Suzie posts the more we all see what a great place you were able to get into, George. Nice to be able to spend time with family, for sure.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you, Suzie, to know when you leave the people there are taking good care of George. Take care. As always you are both in our thoughts and prayers.
This is one amazing place and am so lucky to be able to get in here and be well taken care of. Thanks again for the prayers.
DeleteGeorge, I love seeing that you are once again responding to your blog comments.
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a nice facility...it is a beautiful and uplifting place, I too would be happy to show it off.
Like another person posted...it is all good in the world when you have on your hat and vest along with your trademark smile :)
Thanks M's B all is good here when I can type again . wear my hat and vest and keep my smile going.
DeleteThis is one beautiful place and love showing is off.
