Bob and I are getting the venturing idea down to a science. We went to Wal-mart today. We walked in, then got two automatic carts. One of the attendants had to show Bob how to run his cart, because he never ran one before his aneurysm, so he didn't have familiar information stored in his brain to pull a "how to" strategy from. But he learned how instantly.
Bob headed out first, then as we started down the main isle; he in his cart, I in mine. My cart was faster, so I swerved out to the left of my t and left him in my dust. :-)
Even though my t's memory is improving, I'm not sure he'd be able to survive without assistance. He has his morning shower routine down, but can't remember to take his medicine. I set it out for him every morning and evening. He knows his computer password and everything about commodities, but can't remember where our bedroom and bathroom are located. He can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or get a bowl of cereal, but has difficulty with the microwave. I know the more "real" situations I can create, the more relearning Bob can do.
Bob used his wheelchair as little as possible today. His legs are becoming more fit; he says he recognizes the difference everyday.
