Progress and Activities:
Saturday:
-today Brian and Shelley did the car transfer (using the new 'Roddy" transfer board) by ourselves. We took the phone number of the nursing desk just in case, but we did not use it. The first transfer went rather smoothly, gale force winds and all.
-so off we went to Brian's parents house to see if Brian was able to maneuver well enough to live there for a month. (we received a very generous offer from them, also offers from Denise & Roger Morden and Tim & Monique McDougall - thank you!)We took the portable ramps (thanks Diane) and put them in the garage, Charlie wheeled Brian up, as it was quite steep. We will have to have the new Occupational Therapist in to check it out next week.
-we had a nice visit with Corrine and Charlie then we were off for a drive
-of course we went to the Auto Mall................ did you know there is a chartreuse Copper Mini? Brian did not know that chartreuse is a color.
-then we chose badly and had McDonalds for supper
-back to the hospital, transfer went not so smooth (but still did not call the nurses) and Brian got into bed and Shelley went home............or so she said!
-actually Shelley stopped at Gene and Debbie's and bummed a cold beer. As always the snacks are great there, so Shelley ate and ate! Thanks guys!

Sunday
-Steven and Tim stopped by but Brian was busy. They left behind a Tim Horton’s coffee for Brian!
-lunch then Shelley picked Brian up (again transferring into the Plymouth Acclaim) and went to our house for Open House in the wind, snow and rain.
-we had coffee visitors at home which was very nice.............but we have not seen a new offer on the house yet.
-Gene and Debbie BBQ'd sausage and potatoes and brought them over before we went back to the hospital.........watched the end of the Masters ..........you all know how Gene loves golf ....I am glad Tiger won...........
-back to the hospital for all the meds Brian missed and again into bed. It is exhausting these outings.
