Under the monitor or something like that? I am going to +try+ to talk him into that. As long as I can keep him from thinking it implies he would get injured I am in good shape. Tell he can't have this or can't do this, then those are things he wants to have or do. This man wants to take up car racing- because his doctor told he "could not go fast." I am just trying to keep him at his home more and out of the hospital.
