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.

180 Posts...

Wow, 180 posts to this blog. I don't think I've ever commited to anything for so long before. It's a habit now. If I don't say something everyday, I feel like I'm letting a lot of people down. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.


Bob is becoming so "back to normal"; I get excited everyday I see him. We played UNO this morning. Now, tell me...If he's doing as bad as what everyone on that d@#% care team says, would he have remembered to say "UNO" when he had one card left? NO! Well, he remembered, and he remembered to say UNO as he laid his next to the last card down!


We exercised his (and my) arms and torso this evening. Also, he's on the edge of his chair getting ready to stand. The standing part scares the crap out of me, because if he falls and hurts himself, all fingers are going to be pointed at me. Let alone I'll feel so badly.


We worked on recall speed tonight. There's not too much to work on when he spits the answer out faster than I can come up with the answer myself. Geez...


Bob's C-diff infection is still positive. That means he'll be in solitary confinement for possibly two more weeks. I need to speak with the Physical Therapist to see what the game plan is now.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father in heaven, thank You for this new day. Thank You for the opportunity to begin again. I choose to press forward and keep believing for the dreams and desires You’ve placed in my heart. I trust You today with everything that I am. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
