Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

T is going to crap his pants when....

Hi all. Since t becomes more alert when I play "Asleep at the Wheel" CDs, I decided to email the band's manager. The band will be at The Dalles (a town within minutes of Portland, OR). I asked if Ray Bensen could visit his #1 fan at OHSU. I received an email back saying Ray couldn't do a physical visit, but he could talk with Bob on the phone. I thanked them for the suggestion, but Bob can only move his eyes right now, so that wouldn't be good. Asleep at the Wheel is going to do one step better! When Ray Bensen returns to the studio in Texas, he is going to record a message to Bob and send me the CD. That way, I can play it for Bob when he wakes up more. www.asleepatthewheel.com

Now tell me (those of you who know Bob's musical side), is he going to crap his pants when he hears that message? Ya, you betcha!

Today, the nurse said that Bob would be out of the ICU, except for the fact, he has the drain in his head. The neurosurgeons gave him a drug in his head today that will break up the clot. The broken up clot will drain out. Then, the drain will be removed and we're back to 10K. KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED AND PRAY that all goes well.
