Lemon Buttermilk Pies
Saturday morning, Mama and Nancy Mainard's last day in California before flying back home tomorrow. We are relaxing at home, a beautiful lemon buttermilk pie just came out of the oven (after we finished yesterday's pie for breakfast!).
Chester is feeling pretty good. A few mornings ago he had a long dizzy spell while waking up. Hard to be dizzy and need to pee at the same time, but we got through it. No more dizziness since then, thankfully.
We heard that Chester's insurance company has given us an end date for the Rehab Without Walls coverage. Tuesday March 7th will be his last day of therapy. When MediCal gets approved, we'll most likely be given another 20 sessions or so of outpatient rehabilitation, and the gift of it is that June, Chester's "miracle worker" occupational therapist, works in Herrick outpatient so we'll be able to continue seeing her. But there will most likely be a month or two gap in between. So we are preparing to commit to an in-home, self-directed rehabilitation program. We'll be asking folks who are interested in assisting Chester with his rehab exercises to come over and learn some of the routines. More details to follow, but local folks may want to check in to see if they are available to assist Chester in this way.
Another opportunity to help out: Folks who have already stayed with Chester and are familiar with the routine are invited to stay over on Sunday March 5th and Monday March 6th. We'll need someone available from Sunday afternoon through Tuesday morning. Please let us know ASAP if you are up for it. I won't be available to train new folks for this weekend, but if new people are interested in offering some days as a companion for Chester, please be in touch and we'll work out a good time. I am still here about 3/4 of the time, and I need more help, so I can keep myself healthy for the long haul.
We are in the process of organizing some informal classroom time with Chester for March. Most likely it will be Thursday afternoons. More details will come. The master teacher is still ready to be in the classroom circle, offering guidance for graceful bodywork, leading us in the breath, and sharing his experience. Stay tuned for dates and times!
We're now going to plan a special dinner for Chester's last night with his family for this visit. They tried sushi earlier in the week, but I don't think we'll convince them for an encore sushi feast. . .
