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.

Only 8 weeks to walk...

I was told today that Bob's VA stay is limited to eight more weeks. Then, he either goes to another skilled nursing facility or home with home-health care. So, I'm not letting my t go to another nursing facility. We marked the calendar. Our goal is to get him well enough to come home within eight weeks. No more lallygagging.

I could see the stress that bit of news created in me today. At one point, I lost my patience (hard to believe :) I know)I told t to stop looking at me like I had two heads, because I know he knows what he needs to do. Another time, we were listening to music and putting a puzzle together. I asked him if he can sing and put the pieces together at the same time. He said, "F*** no". hahahaha...that's my t.

If you tried to go the website that I mentioned yesterday. I gave you the wrong link. Here is the correct link, www.mymsmyway.com The website helps improve your cognitive retention. I did much better today. I must have been tired yesterday. (Yeah, that was it. I was tired; that's why I didn't score well.)

One day at a time...
A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM Joel Osteen
"Heavenly Father, I know what you've put on the inside of me. By faith I see the dreams you've given me coming to pass, no matter what my circumstances are. I am full of Your power and I'm ready to become everything you created me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen"
