Voice Therapist

Today I went to see Willy and the activity lady was with him.
They want him to use the large wheelchair and for the previous two days they more or less insisted on it so he could sleep in a more comfortable way during his naps in daytime. But he cannot and will not move the thing with his feet.
 I bought him, when he was living at home, one of those large chairs that will lift a person up at the touch of a button because he was always falling when trying to get up.
I told them he never even tried it out. Told me he hated it. Told me I wasted money and for the rest of his life he would not sit in it. And he never LOOKED at it never mind sat in it. So this is the same thing.
"Am I sitting in the small one?" he asked
"Yes"
" I don't want the big one. Am I sitting in the small one?" and so on.


I wheeled him into the exercise room and there was the Voice Therapist and she has a group which will be in a concert choir. I joined in. I used to love to sing but only for myself, then my voice decided it was too tired and I had to forget singing. But by the time we got to song # 6 I was doing all right.
This is a treasure person and I've watched her before, think I've told you about her. This time she's actually getting even befuddled people to sing the words of the songs. It was lovely.


It was pouring rain and sleet when I drove but I do like to be able to drive and get all the little things that make up life without bothering anyone else.
Today May is going to see a specialist about the pain in her knee. It will be interesting to know the results because she says it is not where the fracture is.


I missed talking to my sons the other night when they phoned - they said they were thinking of me. They are always busy-busy-busy. They have started another venture and I think it will work.
