Judy: II, k.

2. At Home Day
a. These afternoons follow much the same routine as a work day, with the exception of getting into the wheelchair and car. They are usually quite full and often include friends who offer their hands for secretarial work and note taking, purely social visits, keeping up to date with a large correspondence and lecture notes and monthly appointments with the hairdresser, social worker and priest.
1). To help us remain interested in others, we have a very special friend who aids us all in keeping life manageable by listening to us vent our fears and frustrations. She is a social worker from the Family Service of Montgomery County who reinforces our judgements and realistically encourages us to live as normal a life as possible. Fortunately, we already have a very close family relationship, so her talents in helping achieve this goal are not used as fully as they otherwise might be.
