Bill: week ending Valentine's Day, Fri. Feb 14: yes, he had therapies

Yes, Bill had therapies on Thursday, back-to-back-to-back. I noticed improvement in his left leg for standing, and for getting in and out of the car.

Perhaps we can get Bill to post on update on his speech therapy.  I (Julie) was busy 'playing' with the pharmacy refill. Skipping the play-by-play,  let me just say it took the duration of  two hours of his therapies, four trips to the pharmacy window, and one trip upstairs to his doctor's office to get the med we tried to get LAST week. Luckily, he wasn't out yet.

Physical therapy was with a new therapist. She promises she has already had her children (last therapist is on maternity leave) and isn't having any surgeries (the prior-prior therapist). She had him standing and weight shifting to the left to build some more confidence in the left leg. Another standing exercise was alternate foot taps up to step platform.

During the transition from PT to OT, they all talked about Bill and Ayn's planned trip to Northern California in early March. 

Sadly, I missed most of Occupational therapy, making appointments through March. And making the third of those four trips to the pharmacy window.

After therapy reward: Ayn and I went to the Apple store to get Bill's new Mac Air!  If you haven't seen them, they are very slick, very light.  I think said his older Mac Pro is six years old (that's about 120 in computer-life years, isn't it?).
