Jean has become much more tired than before. It seems he would prefer to stay in his cozy bed around the clock. It's getting harder and harder to persuade him to get up. He needs to get up to eat, of course, but also so that his muscles do not become so weak that soon he wouldn't be able to get up at all. He canceled physical therapy about a month ago.
It's good for him to get a bit of exercise, and also to have a change of scenery. Once he is up, he stays up for a few hours and then goes back to bed.
He still cracks jokes once in a while, but it seems he has become subdued.
He does like to get out of the house occasionally, for a ride or out to eat. We take him out at least once a week. His appetite remains good.
Friends from church who live in the country (not far from town, the country starts very quickly!) invited him to dinner last Tuesday. They are very kind people, and everyone had a good time.
Jean ate SO much food! His hosts said they were very surprised that "a thin, little man could hold so much food." They suggested he could take his dessert home to eat later, but Jean said he would eat some now, and take more home. Which we did!
