We went to cash George’s check today. When we were there he told me that he and the girl working there were going to go out and spend his money ;) We went for a drive after and ended up in construction. At least it was a semi cool day. After that we went to Incredible Pets to see all the new pets they have now. We looked at the fish, birds and puppies. They even had bunnies! We went to Rich’s Bagels after and he got a quiche. He kept saying that it wasn’t good but then taking big bites! He ate half the thing. I got him some water and he said “Water with this? I need coffee”.
His weight was 88 lbs. He gained 2 lbs! I'll get BP on Wednesday.

Mamiyo is back home now. (Sharon is too) I think we need to make it a monthly thing. It’s nice to have someone home with George during the day to keep him company. We drove up to Silver Lake today (This time we brought the wheelchair). We went all the way around the lake, stopped and watched someone catch a fish and enjoyed the pretty scenery. It was a really nice day up there. It was a little breezy and the sun kept going behind the clouds. After wards, we went to the Brighton Café before we came back down the mountain. We were going to eat outside, but it started to rain a little. He ordered a grilled cheese and ate half of it. LoL…I ordered a sprite for him and he walked back to where the drinks were and got a beer.Monday August 2, 2010
We all went out to the cemetery today. We stopped at Smiths first to pick up some flowers.

Today Sharon took George, Mamiyo and I went to the planetarium to see a show. It was fun,
both Sharon and I were tired during the show but George and Mamiyo stayed awake the whole time. We looked around afterwards. George got some rocks and a ball that changes colors when you throw it and Mamiyo got a ‘squishy’ ball. “This will be good for my hands when I’m just sitting”. They looked at the balls in the maze too (Not sure what to call that thing). It was a fun day!(There are 2 more pics on photobucket)

We all went to Snowbird again today. (Sharon, George and me). George found some really cool
rocks today! It was funny cause he started at one spot and kept moving over. We watched the kids play and just hung out at Snowbird. He said he would like to go on the tram again just “Not today”. The weather was really nice but it started to rain a little, so we came home. When we got home, George found a rock that was just ‘his’. We all had to choose a rock that was just ‘ours’.His weight was 92 lbs. and his BP was 120/62.

I didn’t come over today. George had an appointment at the dentist. He was there for about 4 hours! He has a nice smile now and is proud of it. :)

Today we drove up to Park City to watch the ski jumpers. Sharon made us lunch to take up with
us. Thanks Sharon! We watched them for quite awhile. It was a nice day. Tom and Fran came to visit when we got home.

HI Jody,
These are all great posts! I'll have to add some from my visit too. I'm glad to hear he's eating better. Hope he's getting used to his dentures soon. I can't believe he used to weigh 92 lbs! That seems like a lot right now. Last year I think he was weighing around 98.
I'm looking forward to our next Skype session :) --but only if it seems like something good to do while you're there. I know he'd rather go out and I remember that time he was upset he had to come home early just to talk with me on the computer :) I'll call on Monday if I don't talk with you guys today (Fri).
Thanks again for all your creative ideas and energy.
Sharon
Hi Sharon!
It would be awesome to see some of the pics from when you were here. When he talked to you on the phone about going to the dentist, I found out why. We were at the store and he pulled one of the little tubes of fixodent out of his pocket and he said he needed to go to the dentist to get more. I told him we had more but just put out one tube at a time. He was OK with that and said "I don't need to go then". He seems to be doing good with them.
What's weird is that he is so small anyway you would think that weight loss would really show. He looks the same to me, course I see him all the time...he's been hungry so hopefully he'll gain some more back.
We'll talk to you soon! :)
Thanks, Jody! Yeah, it seemed a little intense on the phone. But then that phone is crappy! I'll look into getting another one. I'm glad you got everything worked out. It's also great he's taking care of his own stuff (wanting to get more fixodent). Thank you for helping him do what he needs to do. I think it's wonderful he gets to be "normal" and independent with your help, and Dennis's too, of course. I think I jump in too quickly sometimes and he doesn't get to do things his way.
I'm going to send some pictures soon. I'll also add a few to a post too. There's a great one of you taking his blood pressure.
