A Week of Walk Water and Mail!

 The routine is the daily walks, 2x PT, and rest.  This is the anticipated day.  Looking to find some stability and no visits to ER !


He taks on long walk usually up Alta vista to Micheltorena and down one of the streets to Anapamuy and home.  


The short walk takes him through the High School and around to Nopal and back.


Of course, he drinks water on the way













On Sunday, we walked down to State St to meet Marcia Burtt for a delicious Ethiopian lunch ar Petie Valantien -- this is a weekend special, and it is very good.  We also meet Marcia there for dinners that are in the French style.  The chef is excelent and we recommend this restaurant!


The walk home was more tiring for Mike than I expected. I am going to check on the schedule of the city bus so we can have an alternative.

Both Mike and I are grateful to the staff and have been reassured that we are not abusing the system.  Most recently, Mike was in for a major infection for 5 days, and we got out for only a week and a half. Mike went back to ...

  Mike is getting visitors!  And he is enjoying the conversations and the change from the daily effort of getting well!  Short walks, loads of water, and rest. Rob and Allison shared lunch last Thursday, and they talked of art and Santa Cruz Island. Today, Michael and Phillip spent time with subjects all over the place...  Sunburst Farms (remember?), Dia de Sta Cruz (need to pay for that), and yes, we slipped a little into that subject that need not be named! Mike with Michael, Phillip, and Kitty who was making herself a nuisance!
