~~ Update by Margaret ~~
Howard is doing well today. He was up early - 8am-ish - so he was able to see Kevin off to work. I had already made him a cup of coffee, but he got his breakfast himself.
His hand is doing much better. He has been good about keeping it up as the doctor instructed, and there has been no swelling for a couple of days. We've been good about making sure it is soaked twice per day.
I had to take him to Kaiser in Fremont to have some blood work done. He was very steady and walking well. He did not want to take the walker, and today he did not need it. He had no problem getting in our out of the car, or fastening his seat belt. We even teased Katie that her 92-year-old grandpa kept getting out the car faster than she did. The blood draw was easy, and then we went to Chili's in Fremont. His hearing and cognizance was good. We chatted a bit, but it was noisy in there so we really could not converse.
I was concerned yesterday because he slept most of the day, but today he is chipper and engaged. He is napping a bit now as we just got back from Chili's, and he ate his full bacon cheeseburger, so I would expect him to nap. 😊
Pat and Karen are working on home healthcare for him, and we will post updates on that when the info is available.
