We took another step closer to sealing the marriage deal. We bought the rings. My engagement ring is getting sized. When I get it, I'll post a picture. However, Bob can't recall on his own that we got them. He remembers when I give him clues. His memory has been that way for a long time, hasn't it?
We ran into Bob's speech therapist that he had in Rosehaven one year ago. She was the one who taught me so much about the swallowing and speech connection. She also gave me a thick binder full of activities to do with Bob to improve his memory when he move from Rosehaven to the VA. Anyway, she was ecstatic to see how far Bob has "woken" up. She said that she doesn't get to see too often a person who was in such a shell as Bob was emerge without much noticeable impairments. :-)
Bob killed me in backgammon today. I jokingly said, "Either you're getting your brains back or I'm getting dumber." He said, "He must be getting his brains back, because I'm just as smart as before."
