Bob was "on" today. We spoke to some of his clients. We used the speaker phone to introduce me as Bob's new assistant. What nice people they are. Bob was so professional, as always; it was fun. Doing some resemblance of being a broker, Bob's memory seem to catapult forward.
Bob's short-term memory expanded the entire day today. He even took a nap! Before today, a nap always seemed to "wipe the memory slate" clean. But, not today. He remembered taking Zachary lunch at his band camp. Bob asked Zachary at 8:30 pm, "How was the sandwich we brought you?" I had to give my t a high five for remembering.
Bob and I were discussing when a certain company bought out another company. The takeover happened in 2008. This discussion has occurred on a daily basis for the past five months. When I asked Bob when Iowa Grain was bought by ADM, he said, "Well, everyone keeps telling me two years ago, but to me, it just happened." If you think about it, if something happened in 2008, then Bob had his ruptured aneurysm in spring 2009, and he can't remember things from May 2009 to now, of course, the buy-out just happened.
