Thursday

Philip and I went up today. Richard was in therapy when we got there so we didnt interupt. Then we went to lunch with him. After lunch we chilled in his room and talked. He was aggravated today because they are weaning him out of his wheelchair. He had to walk everywhere today until 2pm without his chair. He was not happy but he did it. Next week he wont be able to use it at all. He isnt looking forward to that but it really is a good thing for him. After lunch he had to walk to the other building for therapy. He did shoulder stretching. He has been wanting to learn to type again so he asked could he work on that today. So off he went to the computer room. He typed a letter to a friend, printed it, addressed the envelope, and mailed it, Then they gave him some homework to do sometime in the evening because he didnt have balance group today. It was like a word unscrammble. He was mad. He says he feels like they are trying to make him an Olympic star. Christie was not very interactive today. She did give us kisses, stuck out her tongue and answered questions by shaking her head. She is really funny with Philip. He makes faces at her and the looks she gives him are priceless. I cant go back until Sunday so Ill update then.
