I normally have PT on Tuesday mornings, but Cal State Long Beach is on Spring Break, so my therapy is off for just this week. I did some walking exercise and some stretching.Last year, April 1st was a Sunday, and it marked my first trip to SBCC since the stroke. It was a special occasion ... Liz was going to be baptized during the service. Now, Liz had been baptized already at her former church, but this was her way of expressing her continued commitment to Christ for those of us at SBCC.
I remember that Sam picked me up from home, then we found a place in the front row at SBCC. We were joined by the rest of Koinonia and we cheered loudly when she entered the baptismal tub.
I took a few photos with my phone camera, but the resolution isn’t great. Fortunately, Wendi also took pictures that were much more clear. You can compare them on the right
After the service, we all went to Sea Empress in Pacific Square for dim sum. I thought I would get a chance to eat some delicacies I’d missed while at the hospital. But Eric sat on my right, and Wendi sat on my left, and both were self-appointed food guardians that supervised my meal. I remember reaching for a bao, only to watch the plate moving farther away as one of them said, “That’s hard to swallow. Try a shrimp ball instead.”
But I found that if I just waited until both of them were distracted by eating or conversation, I could help myself to anything on the table.
