David Hurles Update from Dian Hanson

David Hurles is in a nursing home in Hollywood now, which allows me to visit him 4 times a week instead of once. I bring him stuff he likes to eat, which means a lot of pudding, ice cream and cheesecake, which he’ relearning to eat with an ez-grip baby spoon. Attached are a couple photos showing him engaged in the MediCal therapy program—basically exercises to increase strength and dexterity using simple, cheap household items that I buy and bring him. Here he’s mastering the art of separating cotton balls and piling them into a plastic cup. Though he keeps asking if we can’t hire someone to do this (he means his part, not mine), he’s made immediate progress. Still hoping to be able to get some help so I can get him on his feet a bit, but I know all of you who saw him at his worst will be happy to see him come this far.
