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.

Blame it on me...

I created a little bit of a ruckus this morning. I decided to call my T on his cell phone. He didn't answer. But, when he called me back, he was laughing. He said I woke everyone up. He said that his phone was ringing loud, and when he got up and out of bed, he set off the bed and stand-up alarm. Nurses were running to Bob's aid, since he's a risk for falling, and his phone was ringing. Hahaha...can you imagine that fiasco!


I bet Bob will sleep good tonight. He did a lot of walking today. He did some rolling around on the physical therapy table. Rolling from laying on his back to his stomach was nearly impossible, but he did it. He also rode the stationary bike for twenty minutes. So, I believe he'll sleep well tonight.


Cognitive therapy: We went on a picnic and took things from each letter of the alphabet. Each person needed to recite all of the items listed, then add to the list by naming an item for the subsequent alphabet letter. For example, we went on a picnic and to apples (mine), banana (his), canalope (mine), dogwood (his), envelopes (mine), food (his), a guinie pig (mine). That's all he could remember. We'll work on that memory skill tomorrow.
