His occupational therapists, Marc and Lori, came in after Michelle. They had Will do a load of laundry. He did a batch of coloreds on hot, which could be interesting. They also wanted to test his use of the telephone and the telephone book so they had him look up yellow cab in the phone book in Bountiful, which doesn’t exactly have a thriving taxi service, but he was able to locate a local cab service anyway. Will won’t be able to drive for a month or two, until they’ve put him through a driver’s training course, so access to a cab could be a need. The phone number they gave him for a theater was out of order, but he wasn’t planning on taking in a movie any time soon, so it was okay.
They asked him what his main goals were. He told them he wanted to be able to talk better and to return to his residency in Ohio. They could tell he was pretty pumped about that and agreed that those were goals they could support and help him with. Marc suggested he do a task like showering or eating, take a nap of 30-45 minutes in length, and then do another task. He also recommended two short 15 minute walks, rather than one 30 minute walk. The goal of breaking out of the Zombie state looms large on the horizon right now.
