Just got back from a nice visit with Ken this evening.

I read him some more cards that came in, and the he brushed his teeth, and I flossed them.

It's nice . . . the visits are becoming much more social. In the past, visits were centered on getting this medicine, or talking to this person, or making this happen, or asking him where it hurt and how much and for how long. Now, there is more relaxed time and it is nice.

I told him to expect some drawings/art from some famous artists for his walls. He has no idea what I'm talking about.

I'm going to work tomorrow. It is time. Mom and Dad will be here this weekend, and I'm having a "Trash Party" on Saturday. I have a TON of crap that I need to throw out, before I even THINK about selling the house but can't get motivated, so I had an idea. I would rent one of those 9ft x 8ft x 3ft dumpsters, have it delivered to my driveway, and invite over a bunch of friends to help me carry crap out of the house and throw it in the dumpster. I'd provide refreshments and food, and we'd just all kinda spend an afternoon helping me throw stuff out of the basement. Plus, Mom and Dad can meet my friends, and see Meredith again!

Then on Sunday, we will have brunch with Bill and Helen and Gwyneth and Chris and then all go over and see Ken. We were going to do this on Saturday, but Sunday works better because he has the entire day free of therapy appointments.

I see Ken again tomorrow evening. I may start adding random posts in again that aren't related to Ken's progress, but the ones that are will always start with the day, date and time in the subject line.

Great week, everyone!
