I came a little later today. We went downstairs and did both sets of exercises today! Wahoo... we worked on words and matching them to pictures. We haven't doe that for a while. I mentioned that we were going to go to D.I. on Tuesday and even put in on his calendar. I told him we could do whatever he wanted on that day. :)

Michael was out of some things, so we went over to Walgreen's and picked up what he needed (He even found a good deal) and then he walked me to my car and went to lunch. His knee was bothering him; we went up to the nurse and she gave him some ibuprofen and he will get more daily to help with the swelling.

We went to Walmart to get some more bird seed. We were there for a little longer than I thought we would be. We got stuck behind a big cart at the register. When we got back to his place, I helped Michael fill up his buckets and then we went outside and filled up the bird feeder and even put some bird seed in his bird house. He says that the birds don't go to the bird house in the tree :(

We finished filling out the calendar through Friday. We hurried to the thrift store on 33rd; Michael was telling me he needed more pants. He tried on a pair and bought those and then we came back and did one set of exercises then went to lunch. Next month we will go to D.I. I know he really wants to go there.

We had to be so fast today. Sorry Michael. We went back to Home Depot and exchanged the 'cane tips' and got the right size. then to Walgreen's for some after shave and coffee filters. We came back and did one set of exercises really quick and then Michael went to lunch. The rest of this month needs be cut back cause I went over last month. I'll be glad when we have more time to go places Michael wants to go. :/

Michael did a good job at telling me what he needed today! We went to Home Depot for a tip for his cane! I had no idea they had them there. He was right :) (Course they were just for furniture, but it works). I noticed he had his bird house hanging in the tree. It looks really cute there :) wet did some exercises real quick; he did a good job and then he went to lunch.

I almost forgot to go over today! My schedule has changed and I just remembered last minute. I tried to call Michael but his phone wasn't working. We went up to lunch first. He was so sweet getting Joyce pushed up
to the table and helping her get set up to eat :) after lunch we went back down and worked on his exercises. He did a really good job today! When I told him that, he gave me a hug and said "You think so?" We also worked on his flashcards before I left and I plugged his phone in to charge. He has a fun afternoon planned at his place.

Michael had a really hard time counting his exercises today. He didn't know the name of the place but wanted to get something. We had lunch first upstairs then he said "Let's go". We went to Walgreen's but couldn't find what he was looking for. He was trying to explain it to me but I didn't know what he was trying to say. He was telling me he needed 'like a basket, bag to put stuff in'. When I asked what he would put in it, he said 'little things and big things'. We went back to his place and he was showing me that he was out of garbage bags! That's it ;) I had him tell me name of the store we were going to and what he needed from there. We stopped at the thrift store on 3300 So. and then I drove him back to his place. 

(Pictures that I have taken haven't been downloading. I'll get them on the blog when I can fix that).

We just did one set of exercises today and then we went to Walgreen's and came back for lunch at his place. He had walked over the other day ad bought me a hat at the hat store! Thanks Michael :)

When I came over, I gave Michael his birthday present. 'This is a nice one'. He liked his new blanket and the design. I asked him if there was anything special he wanted to do today; he wasn't sure. I asked him if he wanted to go to a movie. He said "No...let's go" We went to D.I. and he bought a movie. I bought him a birthday lunch at Sugar house BBQ. I was thinking of taking him there anyway and he was telling me where he wanted to go to lunch as we were driving; it just happened to be the same place. Good choice Michael. He wanted to go to Home Depot afterwards, but couldn't tell me what for. He saw a step stool and said he needed another one. I mentioned to him that he already had one; he seemed to be ok with that. We came back and exercised and Jerry stopped by to drop off a birthday card for him.

Today we went to the thrift store then back to his place for lunch. Since Michael's birthday is  Monday, I asked him if he wanted me to come in the afternoon on his birthday or on the regular time on Tuesday. He said he wanted me to come on Tuesday. Tuesday it is :)

We worked on exercised then went to the store and then for a walk today. 
(Michael's been asking me what I'm going to get him for Christmas, no Thanksgiving... no 'my birthday'. When I asked him what he wanted, he told me he wanted a new blanket).

Michael had some nurses come this morning. We did his exercises; it was a nice day outside so we took his papers with us and sat on a bench and did some reading. It got a little windy so we finished inside. Michael got a new charger for his phone today!
