Today I checked on him and found him sitting in the big room with the TV and a bunch of ladies sitting around. Only one tried to interact. She came over and provided quite a bit of entertainment. She kept trying to give Gordon advice as if she were his mother. She was very expressive and showed quite a lot of energy and drive, except that no phrase matched the next phrase. Gordon just asked her "What?" and just waited for her to go away. The mothering lady then went to "supervise" someone else and got into quite an argument when the next person wouldn't follow her instructions, rather she told the would-be mother to "go talk over there." Gordon just smiled, watching the whole argument. He said that it's entertaining just to watch all the people. He seemed to remember both me and Becca today, but he usually has referred to Becca as "Martha" lately.
They send a schedule each month that I thought some of you might enjoy. Mondays include ornaments, Polar Bear Craft, Creative Dance, Photo Frames, Christmas Movie and New Years Eve Party. Tuesdays: Ageless Fitness Wednesday: Edible Snowmen, Christmas Cookies, Programs, Ginger Bread Houses, Games. Thursday: Bingo and Christmas cards. Friday: Ageless fitness and games. Wow, with fun like this each day we should all be trying to get into this place. I will let you know what the new year will bring in the way of fun.
He is eating a little better, 3 glasses of milk each meal. Vegetables and bread occasionally but always the dessert. Watching the 'others' eat though would put anyone off the feed. YUCK.
