Bill had another SUPER day.....I got there around 10:00AM he was already working down in Rehab. Lighter side story......Bill was working on a raised table with a wedge plastic thing under his head and shoulders. The therapist asked him to roll over to his left side. He has not done this exercise in a month. When he rolled over he pushed so hard and with the wedge only under his middle...he rolled off the wedge and landed face down on the mat. She said great work...I'm impressed. Bill said why I almost killed myself ! Maybe you had to be there but it was a pretty funny thing for him to say. We all had a good laugh.
He looks great....sounds great.....used the toilet successfully again...(first time in about 6 weeks)...got a shower in the shower chair at EJ (for the first time at EJ). He stayed up until about 4:30PM in his wheelchair today. We visited the dentist office just to take the ride. We visited guest services for the computers....Bill got to see his blog for the first time. We forgot his glasses so I had to read it to him. He was way more interested in the comments than the stuff about him....I guess he already knew all of that stuff. But he did enjoy the comments after we have our home computer disconnect in about a week I will be updating from EJ computer. Keep those comments coming so Bill can read them with me.
He is a new man this week compared to the Bill just about 10 days ago. The roller coaster continues. The up are great but the downs are the pitts. For today it's great to be UP !!
You go Bill....keep up the good work !
Note: I found a special phone at EJ and connected to Bill's wire for his bed phone. It has a loud volume and very large numbers. I will keep it in reach if you would like to call the number is 504-454-4916. That is direct to his bedside table...if you don't get an answer please try later.
I hope this is the answer as the cell phone is a disaster with operation, hearing him and him hearing you. We shall see !

Mr. Bill,
This is Lorie #1, I know you remember me, right? I am so glad that you are doing better, I pray for you and Mrs. Ruby often. Cayla was asking about you the other day, she said Mom remember when he use to call me a boy??? She said I use to get so aggravated! You should see her now, she is beautiful. We went last week to take her Senior pictures, it seems like yesterday Lori and I took our pictures. Mrs. Ruby please call me if you need help with anything, believe me I can use some diversion of my daily dealings with life, I would love to help you. You take care of each other, I hope to come see you soon, and I will be checking in on you. Have a good one! Lorie
Hi my other Lorie,
You are so sweet...I know you are not having it any easier than we are right now. I do appreciate your offer and may need to call you. Maybe we can get together when Lori is in this weekend for a packing party. We could stay up all night like ya'll used to do. Love Ya Lots Ruby
