The “C” Word – Day 119 Banner day

Today was special.  George made a couple of major accomplishments since all of this started.  He wore jeans for the first time in over 2 months.  We had to go through his closet to find his “skinny” clothes – 2 sizes smaller than the prior ones.  He came downstairs in them and I had to do a double take.  He is so skinny now.  He teared up – not only because of the size of the clothes, but he looked in the mirror and truly saw the change there.

We then went to run a couple of errands – and I asked if he would like to take a turn at driving.  So he drove us around today.  We stopped at the mall and walked a little bit there.  Then we went to visit some dear friends, Rob & Angie.  Rob has had his own trials this year so the four of us have gotten closer this year as we have all been dealing with issues.  We have taken turns lifting each other up in prayer and spent time encouraging and visiting. 

After that we went out for lunch to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.  George ate one of his usual meals and did quite well.  Of course, we are both still full so dinner will be something small. 

While he still has discomfort when sitting and laying down, those seem to be getting slightly better with each day.  This was helped somewhat by getting one of those special cushions that take the pressure off of the tailbone.  “Little by slow”, progress is made.

I told George that him being able to drive again means that he does not have to tell me “the next time you go shopping can you get _______?”  He can get up and take himself shopping.  Hmmm, maybe I can get him to do some of the weekly shopping??  LOL!
