Thursday

I spent part of the day with Richard and Christie today. When I got there Richard was finishing up one of his therapies. He was excitied to show me his new home. So off we went to his new place. Its really nice. He showed me around. He said he loves the chef at the new building. Says the food is better there than the other building. I told him it was probably because he is eating regular food now, its better. But his Patient care Tech said she thinks it better there also. He said he had pancakes for breakfast with maple syrup and the chef cut them into little bite size pieces for him. He said the cream of wheat was bland so he got some mixed fruit pieces and mixed it together and it was good. He had an hour before his next therapy so we played cards in the common area and talked. He expressed to me that he hopes he can return to work soon. He said he enjoys his job and worked really hard to get where he was. He doesnt want to lose that. He got some mail today and was excited. He opened the two cards and read them aloud to me. If anyone wants to send mail here is the address

Just be advised that FINR reads Richards mail (at my request) before he gets it just in case they think its something that would upset him.
Christie was in the gym doing therapy when I got there. I watched for a little while. I found her later in her room. She appeared to be sleeping so I just sat with her. Her room is so decorated with stuff. It looks great.
