Jeff is getting out more frequently. The problem becomes his stamina. If it involves walking or being out for extended periods of time, he becomes exhausted. Last night we ventured out to a Dodger game. That was a pain. The Dodgers and Dodger Stadium are not built for the handicap.
Ordering tickets was like stabbing a needle into my eye. They have made the process painful, long and after various emails and phone calls, a trip to the box office not knowing if there will be seats available. I won't get into parking. Lets just say we did not have to find a handicap space. We won't even mention the one set of elevators of which only one was in use for the 45,000 fans. We ended up taking our chances on the escalator with a Jeff sandwich. One in front, one behind and a mother biting her nails. The only benefit was the parking lot was empty. Sitting for that long of a period was also a bit of a problem for him.
His friend asked him to help him coach the T3 basketball league sponsored by the Victory and Lighthouse churches. It is mainly little kids in 1st and 2nd grades. We will have to go see it to describe it next week.
The other therapy we are starting to try is the water therapy. He did some exercises in the pool on Friday. We are looking into a local community college course and looking into private arrangements. None of the boys loved the water whether at the beach or the pool. So we will see how he responds to the therapy.
We are constantly appreciative of the words of encouragement and support. The Lighthouse church has graciously provided meals twice a week. People we don't know drop off great meals that we greatly appreciate. It usually comes on the days where Jeff has PT and Dr.s appointment. So both Gayle and Jeff are exhausted at the end of the day.
