The good news first: Steve walked 650 feet with a walker and a tech alongside. And in the continuing saga of "what's new today?", Steve is now able to lean forward and stand up from a sitting position.
I had gone to Steve's dad's house to check on Grandpa. I have not been over there since Steve got sick. Grandpa was messin' with the truck, running the engine, trying to "make it keep a charge." We went inside, talked about a few things, and I left. Not long afterwards, Grandpa called me, wanting to know if I'd seen his billfold. No, but Joel was able to find it: in yesterday's pants.
Steve called me with the unhappy circumstance of a loose crown. He'd managed to push it back on, but he's worried that he might swallow it. Our dentist is closed on Fridays, and we were not sure how to work out him even getting out of the rehab building to see the dentist. Dr. Young said that the procedure is to make an emergency appointment, and Steve would get a pass to go. So on Monday, we will try to get his crown replaced, or at least get the process started.
Lastly, tonight is our church's Valentines Banquet, and Jim McFarlen is cooking. We both hate the fact that we are missing the fun and the food. Just wait'll next year!
