When we arrived, Ed was watching NBA playoffs (Celts/Knicks). Jeanne turned off the TV without asking and Ed was pretty angry about that. Ed settled a bit, ate dinner pretty calmly. As usual at dinner, Ed puzzled over the spatial relationships between his chair, his position in the chair, the wheeled cart, the tray, the plates on the tray and the food on the plates. Too many variables! After dinner Ed walked two laps around the unit. We stopped in the atrium along the way, arranged too chairs and a table (not too complicated), sat and played cards (21). The game was just about at his cognitive limit. The fewer cards to add together, the better!
I asked Ed if he wanted to add anything to this post.
Ed says, "In 2008, Stuart coined the phrase - 'don't ever get this sick.' Would that I had paid attention at the time, but learned the sorry lesson that I now learn."
-Stuart
I hope they are watching for DVTs...
