I read to Walt today. It was an article out of the Arm Chair General magazine that Patty left on the windowsill. I read to him from both sides of the bed, per Patty's suggestion.
He didn't seem much fazed but, then again, neither was I.
For those of you who dare to take a walk on the wild side of life, I encourage you to read a few paragraphs of Arm Chair General to Walter. You may become enlightened, as the subject matter of the articles will either a) make you wish you had persued a Phd in War History or b) assure you that your current job - whatever it is - is far preferable to having your shorts tied in a knot about the nuances of the Strategic Missile Defense system.
However, since Walt does care about such things, reading him this literature is a positive thing to do.
When I see him in the morning, I will give him a test on what we read today.

I tried using Rick's 37 step process to enter a comment but it was so difficult to follow that I wound up registering for a porn site in a former Soviet Bloc country instead. I have decided to forego Rick's "easy to use" process and go back to the single click method that I used before.
I visited Walt today when Pat was there. He was just finishing up a dialysis treatment and looked pretty good. Then Bernie and Dick stopped by. Based on the face that Walt made, Bernie's voice seemed to cut through him like a knife.
For those of you who might be interested, I'm looking for volunteers to do some web searches on brain injury recovery. I think that we can pool our information and come up with a host of ideas and approaches to help Walt recover his cognitive skills. One of the things that I am interested in discovering is whether there are meds that can help jump start his alertness/attention. Perhaps research has been done on using meds like those used for attention deficit disorder. They may be appropriate for people who are recovering from injuries like Walt's. Perhaps we can set up a web site and post interesting findings.
FYI, I am writing instructions on how to use the elevators at Strong Hospital. I have 16 pages written so far. When it is finished I'll post it here to help Rick and others move between floors.
