The big news today is that Jeannette worked on her Olympic form on the parallel bars. She took 2 steps forward, 3 steps back and performed a knee bend. That was only 1 set.  There should be a photo uploaded later today. Everyone was elated. It was a lot of work so she also went outside to cool off. Ty, from Occupational therapy, is working with Jeannette with a sock aid. This is used to put your socks on when you can't bend down. She also has a long handled reacher with a pincher on the end. This is used to take your socks off.  Jeannette insists that this is a "trainer" and plans to use it to keep Rich in line.  If there is too much "Honey Bears, do this" or "Honey Bears, have some...(food)", Jeannette says she will tell Rich that he has something on his tongue.... You can imagine the rest.   Now, that the sock lesson is over, we are moving on to pants.  The totally tally for today's activities is about 18 steps, socks on and off and pants all the way on. Ty joked that Jeannette is now ready for the fire because she can dress!
