Jul 7, 2007
Just thought I’d point out today is 07/07/07. Hey, I only get to point such things out 12 times during a century. Thirteen, I guess, if I count 05/06/07 (or if you’re from some country where they the order is other than month/day/year, you would have some other variant of that).
Gary is going on a daily antibiotic, as the leaking problem continues unabated.
He practiced another floor-to-futon transfer tonight. Strange how the one time he accidently fell onto the floor while doing a transfer went more smoothly than the three times he’s tried to get out of his chair to the floor on purpose! Instead of going straight down and landing on his tummy, he ends up going to the side and landing on his hip. At least he didn’t fall on his head this time (and I didn’t give him any support under his chest like I did last time). Plus I put a piece of foam to the side in case he *did* go sideways (as well as an exercise mat straight out for him to hopefully land on), so when he did go sideways, he was cushioned. He tried to get up on the futon without any help at all from me, but from his up-on-his-knees position he sank back onto his butt and then he didn’t have any leverage to go forward, so I gave him a little boost until he had his chest on the futon. He did the rest himself. So, he still needs more practice.
His sister Norma called (right when we pulled into the parking lot of Kroger :-)). He told her about the trip back. She mentioned that she is planning on putting a lot of the photos that their dad took over the years onto a DVD. He was quite a good photographer – lots of cute pictures of “the kids” and also nice scenery shots from their vacations. Norma mentioned that she would try to cut down the number of pictures somewhat – they probably don’t need three of a dog they had when they were kids. Gary said he thought of pointing out to her that in terms of the pictures of “the kids,” there is a disproportionally large number of her (because she is the only girl) and Donne (because he is the first-born), whereas Gary and Bob got short shrift. So Gary really thinks she could work at evening out the number of photos of the four of them. :-)
