My son Paul is still recovering from his
brain
surgery last Friday. Today we passed two milestones: he took a shower,
and he got out of the house. Paul had permission as of today to get
the incision site wet, so this was his first hair wash in a week. (This is a 6
foot tall 16-year-old boy we are talking about!) He looks and
smells much better.
John and I took Paul out for a picnic lunch to Palo Alto’s
Johnson Park. He asked for his favorite food from
Darbar Indian Cuisine. We sat on towels
at a damp wooden picnic table under the trees and
ate butter chicken (like Chicken Tikka), Bengan Bhurtha, rice, naan, dal and raita.
I held Paul’s arm to keep him from tipping or slipping as we walked on the wet pavement.
He is moving slow but making good progress in his recovery.
