W: Now she should eat with the right now, no option. Just use the right hand.
F: Oh, wow, okay. Even if it's difficult or awkward.
W: Yes.
Josette: But what if I have to cut my steak.
W: I want you to work on it. Now you should practice more and more and more and more, so you can get back to normal. Now it's not like it was 2 weeks ago. Now it's getting pretty good.
F: God it amazes me that you can break a wrist, and it heals wrong, and you can still use the hand.
W: It's not going to be normal, but it can work. Okay, squeeze my hand.
Josette: HIIIIIII. See it hurts me there.
W: Is she using her squishy ball?
F: Yeah.
W: That's very important.
Josette: UHHHH
W: Hurt?
J: No
W: Now squeeze with this hand.
J: I got it.
W: Now go back.
J: I cannot do so much.
W: You have to work to get your stregth back in this hand. Work more on your squishy ball. Hand me rubber band.
He outs around her hand and teachers her how to expand it.
W: Now, you must do this 100 times a day.
J: 100?!!????
F: Andrew, when we leave we need to
Josette: WHO
F: (simultaneously) go to Target so I can
Josette: WHAT. WHO!
F: (simultanesouly) return those packing noodles.
Josette: GO WHAR?
F: Mom would you stop! Focus on your PT! It's just between me and Andrew, it's nothing serious!

People call her Chatilin - a name you get when you leeve in a castle - she marry with a neuvee of da boss of the church in paris, the cardinal. i was in shock, i say, how did find a guy like this? they were so high class. but i learned, when she lose her father, after a couple of years, she went to paris to the church, stayed one week down there, and then she came back in the train, she talked with people, they knew about her father, and then after she got home a few days later a man knocked on her door and say "i know you!"
and she say, i don't know you. "I saw you at the church." they continued to talk, had a cocktail, met over a few weeks, she invited her to see his place, and when she saw that big open iron steel fence high, she didn't understand. "This is my place" he say. driving driving driving, so much land. And then she saw the most beautiful castle- no big, but beautiful. No big as Louis XI - just a castle, beautiful. God what different between my place and yours! She said. Don't worry about it, he say. And then they marry, and he feel sorry for her about her father.
