Entry for Wednesday July 12, 2006
We have a new address - what is it?? not sure right now - we all seem to be having problems speaking, sitting, walking - but it is "we" - you were packed and ready - everyone was standing all around you smiling bigger than you - including your dad - everyone grabbed a bag and to the top of the parking garage we go - you very excited - singing with the radio all the way - looking around and ready just to go - go anywhere - all ok - we unload you and into our new apt - you stroll around - nodding everywhere you went - ok - you just smile - then of course - what we eat??? so dad makes chili and hot dogs - fine - you just eat a big bowl of chili, saltine crackers and tea - then settle down on the sofa - a big smile - been 2 months - and you just smile - we all talk just about all afternoon - then dad fixes some black-eyed peas - calls Tommy and Teresa - and now we have more family for your 1st dinner - out of your hospital world - fried pork chops, loaded mashed potatoes, okra & tomatoes & broccoli salad - home made gravy and you just smile and eat. . . all are as excited as we are - you do a lot better eating with your right hand than I could - you just laugh eating a pea off your shirt - but all this is just great - we will and can learn one day at a time to communicate . . not sure where I will sleep - as you have a little room (with no doors) that join the living room, kitchen - our bedroom is in the back but not that far. . just not sure -but I do know I am very tired - I believe more than anyone here from the looks and expressions you and your dad have. . .but we are all in one room - I wish I had some of that tape they put on you for sore muscles - I would just roll myself up like plastic wrap - round and round she goes - just the thought makes me feel good - tomorrow we go the Pathways - check out your schedule for next week and then got to go and get a "lunch box" - you must take your lunch and medications with you - and we will have group classes as well just not as long as yours .. now we must put your casts on your leg and arm and get ready for bed. . this is a good thing. . .hope we have enough blankets as you have been very cold since the accident - but not outside - Atlanta has to much concrete - can feel the heat - . . let's all get a good night sleep - for the first time - no one has to have a "time to get started".. . oh, I hope I am the last one up - and awakened by the smell of bacon and coffee. .on now I know I am tired I am delusional. . but it never hurts to dream- especially before I turn 1/2 a century. . . come on boys - let's get all this finished and relax. . . . sleep tight. . .love mom
