Diane and I visited with Dick and Debbie yesterday (Saturday) at his home in Fullerton. Debbie drove Dick over from her house in Studio City, I took the train up from Oceanside, and Diane drove over after her softball practice in Westminster. Diane was too late to join us for lunch.
The purpose of Dick's visit was to see if he would be comfortable at home by himself. Turns out he will be and the plan now is to move him back home this coming Tuesday.
Deb and Dick picked me up at the Fullerton station and we drove to the house. There, taped to his front porch were two great signs, which his neighbor Laura had posted, welcoming him back. Sounds like she will be happy to get out of her cat care duties!
Anyway Dick looks better. He walks with the aid of a cane for now, mostly for balance, and it appears that he will be able to manage alone OK as long as he has some transportation assistance for a while. For this his son, Rick, will be joining him shortly for a two week stay. They have arranged all his MD, etc., appointments for that period so Rick will be his driver then. Dick appears quite comfortable even though he is still in a neck brace which gives him some trouble when sleeping at night. Looks like the brace will be required for a while yet - as a safety precaution.
In his absence Debbie had arranged to have the house cleaned and straightened up so that the place will be bright and cheery for his return. She has also reorganized his living expenses so he can ease in to a return to normal living.
There have been no postings to the blog lately. Debbie has been catching up on her own work but is going to arrange thing so that Dick takes over as blogmaster. Hopefully this will occur with in the next couple of days.
