Sabbath, we'd heard from Teri D that she had something she wanted to bring up to have Joanie listen to. In the afternoon Teri, her mother, and two friends who lived her 20 years ago, Ed & Sandy, all came up. Joanie wasn't too excited about Ed & Sandy coming up because she preferred that Sandy remember her pre-stroke. Teri and group showed up with Teri carrying in a telephone answering device. It seems that Joanie had called Teri and left a message one week after her stroke. Teri wanted Joanie to hear the difference. She also had a recent message to compare. We were surprised at the improvement. It was especially profitable for Joanie to hear the change since she still feels that she is hard to understand when people listen to her. After everyone left, Joanie did have to admit that having old friends talk to her was more positive than she'd expected.
Friday was a quiet day for Joanie. She didn't feel very energetic and so lazed around much of the day. In the late afternoon, I finally got motivated to power wash the back deck and wash the front windows. They both looked much better when I was done.
"Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."
