Still feel like crap.

Gary’s family has still been trying to get reimbursed for the cancellation that Gary and his mom had to do regarding their room on the Alaska cruise ship (actually, I believe it is Bob still trying to get reimbursed since he ended up paying for the room he was sharing with Gary and his mom). The insurance company evidently wouldn’t take the documents of the cruise ship that showed the room was paid for and thanking Gary for the payment as evidence that he actually paid for the room. (Norma wondered in an email to Gary what planet the insurance company was from. Gary told her that like most insurance companies they are from the planet Justtrytogetmoneyoutofushaha.) The insurance company wanted the credit card statement from last April that showed Gary had paid for the room. Fortunately (in a rare display of organization ;-)) while I was paying all the bills when Gary was hospitalized I had printed off and stuffed things like this in a manilla envelope, and Gary found it.

He told me he is still increasing the weights in rehab. Today he went up to more weight in the wrist curls. He said he tried for half of the wheelie time to do it while watching the little TV there instead of his feet. He said doing it with his head up is much harder.

He went to the barbecue place for lunch again, but he said this time they had the door to their outer room closed, instead of open as it has been before. He said he was having difficulty getting in – if he went up on the sidewalk to the entrance, he was too close to the door to get it open, but if he didn’t go up on the sidewalk then he had to reach across and hold the door open with one hand while at the same time trying to get up the two-inch curb to the sidewalk. He couldn’t do it. The bus driver got out and helped him. I suggested he program the restaurant’s phone number into his cell phone and if their door was shut to phone them to tell them to open the door for him!

Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.

I guess this is turning into a cold. Still hurt all over.

Ow.

Told Gary I was worried about giving “whatever” to him. He said it was inevitable he was going to get a cold or something sometime. I’d rather not be the cause.
