October 2. This week has been interesting to say the least. I found that trying to get dad to speak on demand is almost impossible. But, one day he saw my brother's spare tire on the car, and drew a picture of a circle and put 4 dots indicating lug nuts. Then drew another circle and put 4 dots. Pointing to one circle then the other, counting out loud, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4 5. Couldn't figure out what he was trying to convey. Dad was frustrated that he couldn't get his point across.
Today, he had me goose chasing around the house. He has a dentist appt tomorrow. He takes antibiotics before his appointment to prevent infection. So for a half an hour, I played 20 questions to figured out what he wanted. He had me get the phone book. He flipped through it. I don't know why, he can't read.
I'll have to work on a new picture board this week
On the good side, dad is able to rewrite a word without looking at it. A month ago, he could not do that.
Dentist appointment tomorrow. Should go ok. .
