Recently when R and I were reminiscing about Burt, she said that when she started working with him, he always sat in front of the TV, planning shows for us to watch.
He had been doing something like this for a long time.
Before Lewy, he picked out our evening’s entertainment from the FIOS guide and we would enjoy a couple of hours later in the day. By the time R came aboard, he’d make his picks but we seldom viewed them.
My treasure trove from these days is just the first page of a notebook. It’s covered with his selections from “Today” the 10th through Wed the 23rd. They were in slots from 8pm to 10pm. It could have been in late 2023 when R first joined us or 2024. Seeing his handwriting is my big find for the day.
This find was not as spectacular as the video. In the video, Burt is eating his cake and drinking his latte in the breakroom of the rehab.
He finds the latte too much so he wants to share the drink from now on. He suggests a cappucino because, although he likes lattes, I prefer a cappucino.
He also must have offended the CNAs in some way, because he reminds me of his apologies to the staff. He always wanted to patch things up!
this is our life
