Bill, Fri. Nov. 15: first full day home

First let me say insurance is being fixed. A check for COBRA is on the way from Bill, hopefully to be received by the administrators on Monday and confirmations coming back sometime during the week. Coverage will be continuous from the termination day, last week, Nov. 6.  Odd coincidence, November 6 is Bill's seven year anniversary with the company. But the change here is because it is 120 days after his leave.

Now, for Bill's activities. The day started with some difficulty getting out of bed and to the wheelchair. We're not sure if it's the change in environment, a little less activity yesterday, a little lack of confidence, or what. But after many different approaches, Ayn came up with a suggestion, I modified it so she wouldn't hurt herself, and it worked. Up Bill went, stood for a while, pivoted, and to the chair.

The rest of the day went smoothly. They got all their home exercises done (Bill is going to run out of the cognition exercises from Speech in short order), daily blood pressure check was good, and got some down time to rest. His daughter "C" was great and promises to help with more unpacking tomorrow.
