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.

C-Diff...

C-Diff is a harmful germ that infects the intestinal tract. Symptoms range from mild diarrhea to severe inflammation of the colon. C-Diff usually occurs during or after treatment with antibiotics. Well, there ya' go. Bob just finished heavy duty antibiotics for his urinary tract infection, and now he has C-Diff, which puts him in isolation for ten days.


I couldn't stay long this morning to visit my T. I almost wasn't permitted to enter his room. I had to glove and gown up. I talked with T about the infection. He doesn't want me to get it. So, I left for the day, went home to disinfect my house, and stayed home. I hate not spending time with my T!


He was a "bugger" anyhow. Joe was laughing, because anything I ask T to do, he did the opposite. Like, take smaller bites of yogurt; Bob took a big enough bite to get a brain freeze.


Bob remembers things that happened yesterday. Woo-hoo! His short-term memory is returning.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY from Joel Osteen

"Father in heaven, I choose to believe Your Word above all else. I know that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf, and You will cause me to triumph. Help me to tune out the negative voices of the world so that I can focus on Your goodness all the days of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Tell Bob I am cheering from my chair looking at the picture of him standing up! And is he still has that scarcastic sense of humor, tell him those high rise socks remind me of how we used to wear them with really tight shorts back in the early 70's...so damn sexy (in what we thought, in our warped littleminds, what the girls would think).
Now that I think about him often and hope the body parts all start working again.
