Today we went on a field trip to the Burger Dive. It was our first trip in a van and it was interesting what it took to get us plus one other patient and 2 staff members to the restaurant and back in 2 hours. You drive onto the lift get lifted up, drive into the van and get hooked onto clamps in the floor. And then repeat in the reverse when you are ready to return.
The restaurant presented a few obstacles. Greg couldn't use the table because it was too low. Luckily, they had trays and he could balance it on his lap. The meal was a burger and onion petals, so finger food that Greg can handle. I had to hold the water bottle for Greg because it was too heavy for him to use until it was more than halfway empty. The tables were set together in a rectangle (4 small square tables put together. I was sitting between Greg and the other patient. Greg couldn't hear her and she him. After finishing eating Greg was able to turn the chair to be more a part of the the conversation.
We have spent so much time in hospitals that the "real world" seems strange and the hospital seems like the real world. It is definitely time to go home and turn the world around again.
You didn't say if the food was good We hope you enjoyed the outing. See you this weekend
