Food fest #2

It was beautiful last night; a real collective effort, and just what the doctor ordered. We were surrounded by love and conversation, young and old, those young and in love, friends for life…a delightful evening.

Gilly’s right foot, as I mentioned yesterday is all curled up and kept slipping off the foot rest. As soon as Evan noticed, he taped a small towel around each foot rest and the problem was solved. It’s amazing what they teach them in medical school!

Actually, all accommodations and modifications required are simply a matter of using ingenuity to solve a problem. There are so many types of adaptive equipment out there; something for pretty much any sort of ‘problem’ we’ve faced. This is just like special education; there are so many potential solutions to help people with learning challenges to learn; you simply have to recognize the problem and have the desite to solve it, and the solutions are available.

We are awaiting the Friedman clan and Steven, who just called to say he’s on his way. Gilly’s day was fine. His condition didn’t change in any way overnight. Gotta go put the delicious fruit sauce (apples, pears, pomegranate and nectarine) through the foodmill. No need for sweet desserts with Chinese food.
