Sunday

Just PT this morning, although Linda walked farther in one run than any other time except the day she went back to our room in the platform walker.

Ellie visited today with Mary. She was her usual, sort of cranky, self. So it was kind of taxing. The first 15 minutes with her are always just great. Then she becomes herself again.

Ellie has been asking to watch Babylon 5 for 3 months. It was something the three of us would do in the evenings together. So I attached the DVD player to the big screen TV in the day room and started one of the movies, In the Beginning. We didn't finish it. The truth is, Ellie doesn't care for the show nearly as much as the narrated beginning, so she usually loses interest. But we watched for a while. I think next time we will bring one of the video game consoles back to the room. The common area has too much noise for really watching TV.

Linda and I were going to go to the coffee shop this afternoon, but Linda was too tired after visiting and wanted to lay down for a bit. We decided to go to dinner at Pizza Hut instead. We went to the same one we went to before--yes, the one with the totally-not-accessible bathrooms. Linda said the pizza was good, and we can walk well enough to use the bathroom more easily now. The pizza was good.

I was disappointed that we didn't go out for coffee, so Linda and I went after pizza. We shared a small white chocolate mocha and a piece of cheesecake. It made me feel better.
