You can't eat Jello laying in bed.

The last time I saw Grandpa was the weekend of my birthday more than a month ago, and seeing him at the rehab facility today was like visiting Grandpa any old time - like "normal!"  He was talking about all different things and making jokes, complaining and admitting that he is grumpy sometimes...  We also learned that you can't eat Jello laying in bed - it just falls all over your shirt.  Next time, maybe we'll try it with a straw.  I did like the fancy plastic silverware, though - I had to look twice to see that it was actually plastic!  Overall, it was a very fun visit!  The amount of progress that he has made is just incredible - just think: his first shower, reading books in his bed, eating as much ice cream as he likes, saying funny things that only Grandpa can say, and moving around (almost) comfortably in his bed!  I can't wait to see him again tomorrow!  And it's so funny that he's so excited about his big field trip on Monday to OHSU!  He's going to get dressed up and everything!  It's always good to have something interesting and exciting to look forward to!
