HUNGRY GERALD

The happiest day for HG after 2 months of indoor hospital and therapy center living. Day started with a delicious smoothie breakfast (Thanks, BSK). Gifted daughter Lesley R. and BSK arrived at 11AM to wheel HG outside to a pleasant shrub lined leisure area. The sun was shining and there was a light, cool breeze. This was the first time HG had been outside since HG’s broken hip fiasco. Heaven!! BSK wheeled HG to give HG maximum sunshine exposure. HG basked and breathed deeply. HG and Lesley and BSK were outside for a demanding challenge. Could HG get into a car to take HG home or did there have to be an ambulance? Discharge is about a week away. (When HG left PEI for Rhody after the accident, there were painful maneuvers to get HG into a car seat). This time, with no help, HG got into and out of the car easily. Repeated the actiôns. BSK and Lesley were surprised and overjoyed. Pleasures of the day continued. Spicy therapy-center-provided penne in meat sauce for lunch followed by peach yogurt. Dinner was egg salad and hummus. Both splendid. As HG writes this post, HG awaits a Biden oval office speech and then an NFL game. Exciting.
