Bill, Weds. Oct 30: no dope; "tie-dye" boot

Hooray, he's back from dopey-land. No more baclofyn, thank you very much. No more bug-eyed stares, slurs, sleepiness, loss of focus. 

Also officially nixed the passing comment of 'maybe trying a power chair' made by one of the PT's. 

Started talking about other equipment needs (probably a shower bench/chair, not sure about grab bars or suction bars). The hospital did the paperwork for a wheelchair parking permit, but that doesn't apply to Bill and Ayn so much. They went car-less more than a year ago, using public transportation or Zip Cars. But if Bill's not driving, and Ayn doesn't drive, do they really need a parking permit? I guess maybe if I shove them in my car to go somewhere, although we already have a permit (my hubby's).

Explaining this picture: the white is Bill's sock, and the 'tie-dye' part along the back and on the bottom of his foot (secured by two white velcro straps) is  a very thin but rigid plastic boot (half boot, I guess) to keep him secure while walking.
