Dennis text'd me and said that George didn't get to bed until 7am! I got there and cleaned up and told George I was here, he was awake in bed but fell asleep again. Sooo...he had a late start today. I had him get in the shower first thing. After his shower, I had him choose something to eat for lunch. I sat with him while he ate. He didn't talk today. Hopefully he will sleep tonight.

George had a lunch skype with Sharon, David and Scout. ;) He 'talked' to Scout today too. Sharon mentioned to him that they would be coming out here next month. I know he's looking forward to that. He ate a lot for lunch and when he was done, he wanted to go for a drive in the mountains. It was a pretty day. After our drive, I went and deposited his checks before the bank closed...whew...he came home and got in the shower.
Most of the cherry blossom flowers are gone already. He will have more flowers come up soon. We will have to pick some and bring them inside.

George was up and dressed already and eating at the small table by the window. He shaved and changed and then we were going to go out. When I came back in to get him, he was looking through his wallet and said "I need to find my check." (Dennis left a note to look for it, I looked for it while he was getting ready but could not find it.) When he realized it was missing, we spent our time today looking for the check. It wore him out and he took a nap.

Today before George got ready for the day, we sat down and talked for a bit about what was going on...I had him do routine things we always do, shave, comb his hair...I even had him make some coffee today, he just needed a little help. We had lunch while he was still deciding what was going on. After lunch he worked on his rock box for a little bit then we went for a drive up to the mountains. We stopped and sat on a log to watch the water, then he looked at lots of rocks. He found two that he liked. We finished the drive then came back to the house.

(This is the plant stand I was talking about. There is another one next to it too.)

George was still in bed when I came over. He woke up pretty quickly and even started to get ready on his own. When he was ready, I asked him what he wanted to do today and he said "I don't know." I told him it was up to him, he thought about it for a minute then said "Exercise." I'm so glad he chose what he wanted to do and that he wanted to go and exercise! He rode the bike, did leg stretches, weights, and resistance bands. He did a really good job considering he hasn't been feeling well and he hasn't been to the Senior Center for so long. We came home and he talked to Sharon and David on skype. Tom and Fran came over to bring George some 'goodies' and talked to Sharon and David on skype too. After they left and while I was writing the blog, I was helping him empty some dead flowers in a bag. We heard the ice cream truck and he waved to him. I asked him if he wanted some ice cream he shook his head yes. He couldn't decide so I went and picked out some things for him. He said thank you to the ice cream man then sat on the porch and had ice cream :))

Today was a nice day. I was surprised to find George still in bed when I came over. After he was up, he showered and got ready for the day. After he was ready we went to the park and had a picnic. (He wasn't in a very good mood today, probably cause I wouldn't let him find his wallet before we left.) When we were at the park and sitting down he kept giving me that sideways look, you know the one ;) There were only a few people there today. We watched people walking, kids playing on the swing sets and we even saw a couple of dogs...I heard that he slept really good last night but he is still really tired. He didn't eat yesterday and just a little bit today. He did have almost 2 Ensure's though. When I left, I left him with some water and the rest of his Ensure and some pudding in the basket. Hopefully he will eat tonight so he will have some energy later on.
(Hmmm, now the add image button isn't working to add pics from last week. I'll add them when I can.)

Today George was sitting on the couch in his robe. I'm so glad to see he was up :) I heard from Dennis a little later and he said he was up really late. We went back to get him dressed and ready for the day. He just wanted to pick stuff up and clean. He finally got dressed and had a cup of coffee and talked to Sharon on skype. Since he got dressed and it was a nice day AND he was up for going out, we went for a drive up to Snowbird and Alta. We watched the skiers for a a bit. We saw some people at Pebblebrook today too. It was a really nice day! He fell asleep on the way home but when we got back we looked at the flowers outside, but I think George was more interested in the weeds ;) He went inside and I got him something to eat. He took a little nap on the couch. We'll start again on Monday going out (Maybe a picnic at the park, or Tracy Aviary. Something outside.)

(There are about 3 more pictures on photobucket. FYI the blog format has changed, hope that doesn't cause problems.)
