Will got into his e-mail account and found 160 new messages waiting for him! It was a little daunting to say the least, but he began going through them with great enthusiasm and persisted long after his therapist thought he would have given up. Another thing he has developed an enthusiasm for is milk shakes. Scrambled eggs and oatmeal got short shrift but with a little e-stem cuing from his speech therapist, he was able to guzzle down a whole carton of honey sweetened milk shake with no slobbers. However, when his Residency Mentor, Dr. Glasgow, proposed doing some ballroom dancing with her, he had a sudden onset of shyness. One of his therapists suggested the funky chicken might be more his style but even that didn't capture his imagination. Dr. Glasgow was left to scrounge up a dance partner from some other source. Will received another beautiful blanket this week in the colors of his Medical School Alma Mater, Ohio State University (scarlet, black, gray). He is truly being wrapped in the arms of love by everyone here and his infectious grin and ready invitation to sit down and chat make his room the most popular place in rehab.
