Dr. Appointment

Took Bill to the Dr. yesterday. He had fallen and wondered why his tail bone still hurt over a week later. Doc said it would hurt for another two or three weeks. Didn't think it was broken, but even if it was, there wasn't anything to do but to wait until it heals. Said it is possible that Bill has a nerve disease in his legs making it difficult to walk, but--again--nothing to be done if he has, so no real need for testing unless I insist. I didn't insist. Asked if I should quit pushing him to exercise if that was the problem, and he said, no, it's still important to walk as much as he can, to keep the muscles from atrophying. So, I have permission to pick on him. :-) His mouth is healing. tonight I fed him chiken and potatoe salad--first day no soup since Monday.
