SOCIAL LIFE

Howard and Kathi had a date for dinner this evening but since Deb and Anna were my drivers today we were all in the room when dinner time came.  Howard graciously invited us to stay as well and became a very gracious host.  We trooped to the dining room together and the hostess seated us at a large table and gave each a menu. This is a class act and the food is good. We ordered the creamed asparagus soup with a salmon sandwich on the side.  We had a fun time together.

Howard is improving day by day and getting really anxious for those bones to heal so he can use those feet again.  Someone on the staff told him it might be a year or two before he can walk so he was checking with me to see if that was true.  I told him that the foot surgeon had said three to six months minimum and it may be a year.  He is frustrated of course but determined to do every thing he can to hurry the process which means eating more food for the nutrients to help build bone.  Also needs to gain some weight but isn't interested in sweet things.  He also found out how easy it is to call me for a chat from his bedside phone so he feels more in touch with home.

Anna saw a poster on the wall that told about the weekly bingo game on thursday so she made a date for them to go together.  He wasn't sure about that but her enthusiasm is carrying them along.  They may win big or not.
