Mom
Mom was resting this morning, so we didn't go to see dad till this afternoon.

Picnic
We wanted to bring KFC's new grilled chicken and have a picnic with dad, but he didn't want it! He told mom to bring him a beef sandwich from Portillo's. Mom is way off schedule. It was already after lunch time, but way before dinner. I said that we would visit, and if he wanted something, I would down the street to Scooter's. She does not know how to plan anything. We stopped and got ourselves some diet pops and dad a Chocolate Milkshake at McDonald's because there's nothing for us to drink there. I'm tired of getting that coffee that is too strong!

So, mom went straight to sit outside while I went to get dad. I got a wheel chair, and he was already waiting in the hallway outside his room. He said that he wanted to walk, but I brought the wheelchair just in case. I told him that we got him a Milkshake, and he was excited, but said he didn't want the sandwich. Good thing! We sat outside for a little while, but it was pretty chilly (especially since we were drinking cold drinks).

Finally, we went inside. I offered for mom to ride in the wheel chair since dad still wanted to walk (which is good). He said he thinks the Therapist pulled his leg too far, but other than that, he doing great. We sat in the Entertainment Room, and watched T.V. until a Volunteer came in and suffocated us with her nasty, old perfume! It absolutely the worst! I couldn't even stay in there a second longer, so we went to dad's room.

Birthday/Get Well Cards
Back in dad's room, he opened the Birthday and Get Well cards that everyone sent him. "Thank You" from Bob.

Reading Materials
We brought him the newspapers and some magazines to get him through the next couple of days. Mom is going to try to visit dad before her doctor's appointment because it's on the same grounds, but I have Spanish classes smack dab in the middle of the afternoon tomorrow.

Dinner
We left just before dinner, and went to Portillo's for something quick to eat. It was pretty funny that we ran into our Primary Care Physician (PCP), Dr. Reiderman. He came over and asked how my dad was, and told my mom that she's "next!" Ringworm I was joking with mom because I have two spots on my arm that I thought might be Ring Worm. I noticed them last night, and put some Athlete's Foot cream on them. My parents told me to, so I'm not so sure about that unless the worms have foot problems. So, I said that I should tell Dr. Reiderman to look at them at Portillo's since I have no insurance. Then, while I was eating, I got a bloody nose! I've never had a bloody nose in my life! Very odd, but it seemed to pass.

Pedicure
Syd and I gave mom a pedicure.
