Good TV

Today was another busy day for my dad. He got into the wheelchair again for awhile. He is getting pretty good at helping the therapists, by using some strength in his arms. It will take a long time to build up the muscles again but he is working hard! Once in the chair he asked us a few times why this was good for him, in a funny way of course. It definatley is good for him to move or be moved. However, it is still very painful because he has this wound on his right butt cheek that is trying to heal itself, but is still quite large and deep. Unfortunately, he watched the clock for most of the time he spent in the chair. The good news is he was in it for a 1/2 hour longer than he was the last time!

On a separate note altogether my dad got some pretty good TV in his room. One of his energy healers suggested that he try watching the relaxation channel late at night, when he usually has trouble sleeping. After investigation, we realized he did not get that channel, so they called the technicians to come and put a new one in. When this woman was here my dad told her that it would be great if he could also get the Golf Channel. He has heard the guy on the other side of the curtain (his neighbor to the left) watching this and he would really appreciate it if should could work that out for him because he was not able to find it on his TV. So the kind soul that she is, came back four different times to try and program his new TV. She was using a remote and finally was successful! This made my dad very excited and appreciative, but there was one more thing...if she could just leave that remote with him. He actually asked her to do this and she apologized and told him she needed to take if with her. Now, mind you the TV is on this arm that stretches out from the wall and he usually puts it about 6 inches from his face. So, I'm not sure what he would need the remote for. I guess some things never change, the guy does love his clicker.
Out for now,
