IT"S WORKING! THANKS

May 12 Friday 6:00PM Shelly talked Ben down while I made phone calls to Ben's doctors. Then our friend Ditty came over and hung out- they showed me how to put oil in my red car so I can drive that instead- tons cheaper on gas and easier to load and unload Ben's walker etc. Ben got his watch on and started wanting stuff like his wallet. Then Megen came- her dad had Alzheimers so she KNEW WHAT TO DO- she's incredibly patient with him and Ben keeps telling her how much he appreciates it. They've been working on excercises from Ben's Physical therapist all afternoon. I got some of Ben's paperwork and calls done and I feel so much less stressed- even did some laundry and cooked dinner! Next Ben's son Tom is coming, then our neighbor Marily at 7 and then I begged my sister Jane to drive down from Burlington and stay with me- she'll be here tonight. THANKS EVERYONE! Appreciate the help so much. If you want to hang with Ben, he seems to love it and I can really see it's helping both of us. (I was going to say him and me but I knew my mother would correct my grammar) Love, B&B
