Today Bill looks extra special....he was wearing a new set of lounge pants & shirt.....BLUE. His eyes looked so blue and his skin so pink. Maybe it was the fresh air and sunshine yesterday.

A man came in to work on ordering him a new custom wheel chair today. Bill is still having trouble staying on center...which means since he had a right brain event...he has weakness in the left side and tends to fall left of center. The chair will also have a high back for added back and shoulder support and a very soft cushion seat as a regular chair hurts his butt and back.

Guess what color Bill picked....you guessed it.... all of the chrome parts will be RED and the cloth will be BLACK. Just like his truck......I think Bill is going for the fastest looking chair !

Bill has a roommate Aubrey St.Romain. Who has also had a stroke. Today while the four of us were sitting around. He and his wife and I were talking. Bill was enjoying that and decided to join in...with his voice...soft but enough that he could be heard. Aubrey graduated from Fortier also, class of 61. I think that will encourage both men to be a little more interested in staying awake and working on their speech therapy.

Bill feed himself all three meals today without assistance. I have been told to back out of assisting him when ever possible. They say it will help him more in the long run if I do not help.
He is gaining strength every day but ever so slowly. It has to be very frustrating for him but he never complains.
