041304 - He does not look well.
041306 - ..

041326 - ..
041327 - Asked why the contractor did not install the 6' glass shelf for the
041328 - "garden" window installed over the kitchen sink? It is laying on the
041329 - living room couch to avoid damage pending installation? There is also
041330 - packaging materials strewn along the couch and coffee table, giving an
041331 - appearance of a big mess.
041333 - ..
041334 - Bob said he told the contractor not to worry, that Bob would install
041335 - the shelf, and that he hasn't done so in the past 6 months, because
041336 - one of the shelving brackets is defective and so needs to be replaced.
041338 - ..
041339 - He pointed to a bracket near the back of the protruding window. This
041340 - is difficult to reach, and impossible for Bob with a severely injured
041341 - knee, pending surgery.
041343 - ..
041344 - Suggested that Bob notify the contractor to complete the job.
041346 - ..
041347 - Bob said he doesn't want to do that. He will install the glass shelf
041348 - after he recovers from knee surgery.
041350 - ..
041351 - The vacuum cleaner is laying on the floor in the living room, because
041352 - it is hard for Bob to put it away.

041354 - [On 110920 1407 letter to Robin reports house looks better
041355 - than expected; resistance to hiring help may be

041364 - house within the past week or so. ref SDS 6 CV9L
041366 - ..
041367 - His new television in the living room looks great.
041369 - ..
041370 - The entertainment center that was previously in the living room for
041371 - the prior television is in two pieces nearly ceiling high sitting in
041372 - the kitchen dining area. Bob said that he and Pablito assembled the
041373 - entertainment center, similar to the desk Steve and I assembled for
041374 - Millie on 950729 0510. ref SDS 1 WO74
041376 - ..
041377 - Offered to move the two furniture pieces and related shelving into the
041378 - garage so it doesn't block access to the kitchen and dining area.
041379 -
041380 - [On 111029 0318 entertainment center furniture sill in

041384 - the garage to provide good access to the dining/kitchen
041385 - area which Bob needs while recovering from knee surgery.
041386 - ref SDS 7 VB9B
041388 - ..
041389 - Bob said don't do it. He said that when he and Pablito assembled
041390 - these units 10 years ago, they could barely lift them into place. He
041391 - feels this experience shows that moving these furniture pieces into
041392 - the garage cannot be done by one person.
041394 - ..
041395 - Assurred Bob these pieces can be moved into the garage, and offered t
041396 - show him how, and that the work will take about 30 minutes.
041398 - ..
041399 - Bob was adament that it can't be done, said he will hire 2 people to
041400 - do the work. Unclear what he has in mind that could not have done in

041402 - to be a sore subject.

041801 - Bob proposed going out to dinner at a local Mexican restaraunt.
041802 - He does not seem mobile enough for going out to dinner. After some
041803 - discussion, he proposed making pizza at home. He did a good job
041804 - improving frozen pizza with onions and olives. Bob offered red wine
041805 - with pizza, so went along with it, and also had a beer.
041807 - ..
041808 - Very sad seeing Bob hobble around the house essentially on one leg and
041809 - a cain, all hunched over dragging his injured left leg to carry food
041810 - and drink from the kitchen into the living room, to his green chair,
041811 - where he sits to watch his new television. Offers to help to help
041812 - were met with vehemet refusal, on grounds that he can take care of
041813 - himself.
041815 - ..
041816 - [On 110919 0911 Bob insisted on walking through, despite
041817 - great difficulty using his cain, some of the common areas
041818 - at Triology, an upscale retirement community, near Bob's
041819 - home in Nipomo. ref SDS 2 676I

041822 - [On 111030 0916 Bob's mobility further reduced, and painful
041823 - due to injured left knee. ref SDS 6 SS7L
041825 - ..
041826 - Both arms of the green chair are deeply stained from spilling what
041827 - looks like coffee, struggling to manipulate beverages from a TV tray
041828 - next to the chair.
041830 - ..
041831 - [On 110919 0911 took Bob to dinner at Mexican restaraunt.

041834 - ..
041835 - [On 111031 0800 after Bob was admitted to the hospital for
041836 - knee replacement surgery, tried to clean the cushion arms
041837 - on the green chair; only partially successful. ref SDS 7
041838 - G254
041840 - ..
041841 - Bob said he had a car accident yesterday. He was not injured, but
041842 - does not know if the woman in the other car will claim whip lash
041843 - injury. The front grill on Bob's car was smashed. He does not plan
041844 - to repair the car because there is not enough value to justify the
041845 - expense.
041846 -
041847 - [On 110920 1407 in a call with Bob, he changed his
041848 - understanding on dog scratches causing infection that
041849 - delayed his knee surgery, and indicated the car accident
041850 - occurred a week earlier, and caused a scratch from the
041851 - brake pedal that infected his leg. ref SDS 4 476V
041853 - ..
041854 - Bob feels the accident was caused by medication he is taking to
041855 - relieve pain from his knee problem. It made him groggy and he lost
041856 - attention, causing him to drive into the back of the car parked at
041857 - at stop light.
041859 - ..
041860 - The woman driving the other car called the police. An officer
041861 - arrived, but only stayed long enough to say the driver's were doing
041862 - the right thing exchanging insurance information. This was fortunate,
041863 - because if the officer wrote a report that the accident was caused by
041864 - driver disability, Bob would be at risk of losing his license, at
041865 - least until after his knee surgery.
041867 - ..
041868 - Bob said the woman's car was damaged requiring replacing the rear
041869 - bumper.
041871 - ..
041872 - If the woman claims medical injury, and the total damages exceed
041873 - policy limits, Bob's insurance rate will increase, and he might be
041874 - subject to having his policy revoked due to disability that prevents
041875 - driving safely. This adds urgency to getting his knee repaired, so
041876 - he can function normally.
041878 - ..
041879 - Asked about severe sores on both of Bob's legs, from about above the
041880 - knee to his ankles. There are a few bandages along vertical sores to
041881 - stop bleeding. The legs are not bleeding now, but the bandages
041882 - seem ineffective.
041884 - ..
041885 - Bob said the sores are caused by the dog jumping up to play, and claws
041886 - on his front paws have scratched and broken through Bob's skin,
041887 - suggesting his skin is getting brittle and easily injured with age.
041888 -
041889 - [On 110919 0911 report for day before on 110918, dog jumped
041890 - up on Bob and nearly knocked him down from pain crashing
041891 - against his disabled knee. ref SDS 2 JW7O
041893 - ..
041894 - [On 110919 0911 at 1519 Bob called a dog care service to
041895 - have Sandy's claws cut. ref SDS 2 PSRP
041897 - ..
041898 - [On 110919 1800 Robin called and talked to Bob in the ER;
041899 - he was diagnosed with infection from scratches in his legs
041900 - caused by the dog, Sandy. ref SDS 3 GO9M
041902 - ..
041903 - [On 110920 1407 in a call with Bob, he changed his
041904 - understanding on dog scratches causing infection that
041905 - delayed his knee surgery, and indicated infection was
041906 - caused by a scratch from the brake pedal a week earlier
041907 - that occurred during a minor car accident. ref SDS 4 476V
041909 - ..
041910 - [On 110920 1407 letter to Robin reports discussing with Bob
041911 - wearing jeans, suggested by Robin to reduce risk of further
041912 - scratches from the dog, ref SDS 4 487Y; also reported Bob
041913 - scheduled Sandy to have claws cut, but this may not prevent
041914 - additional serious injury that further delays his surgery.
041915 - ref SDS 4 488U
041917 - ..
041918 - Noticed that Bob's arms also have the appearance of very delicate skin
041919 - that comes with age.
041920 -
041921 - [On 110920 1407 letter to Robin cites Bob's report surgery
041922 - to replace his disabled knee has been delayed indefinitely
041923 - due to infection in his legs caused by dog scratches.
041924 - ref SDS 4 475S
041926 - ..
041927 - Bob related being discouraged the way things are going with his knee
041928 - hurting a great deal, and surgery now delayed until 111023. He is
041929 - concerned more things will happen, like the car accident this past
041930 - Friday, reported above. ref SDS 0 3Z3S
041932 - ..
041933 - This past Thursday, Bob called and told Diane how badly his leg hurts,
041934 - and difficulty he has caring for himself and Sandy on one leg. In
041935 - that call, Diane said she would work on advancing his surgery. Bob
041936 - called me yesterday on Friday and said that Diane called and left a
041937 - message for him that she is working on advancing his surgery, and that
041938 - she will call him Monday to report results.
041940 - ..
041941 - Today, Bob is worried that the medical team will not advance his
041942 - surgery. He feels that waiting until the end of October, over a month
041943 - from now, will be impossible for him to endure.
041945 - ..
041946 - Discussed prospect that surgery cancellations occur, so his call to
041947 - Diane on Friday may result in an earlier surgery for him, when Diane
041948 - calls back on Monday.
041949 -
041950 - [On 110919 0911 surgery advanced 4 weeks from 101023, to
041951 - 110926; Bob very happy. ref SDS 2 565I
