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.

"I don't know"...

I met a person today who has survived three brain strokes, one each year for three years in a row. He said that he's confident that Bob will recover fully. I, too, feel confident. (as many of you have already gathered that about me.)

Well, Bob and I are leaving on a international flight tomorrow. At least, according to my T, we are. He was watching something on the Olympics when he said that. I've said many times, our conversations are centered around what is on TV. This time, though, he wouldn't believe anyone as to the actual location of where he was. Bob had trouble today staying in the present locale.

Cognitive therapy: Bob remembered the pictures we reviewed yesterday. So, today I worked on rapid recall. He wasn't "into" it too much today. He felt there wasn't too much benefit in doing the activity. When he gets in that mind-set, he says, "I don't know"; he doesn't know the names of anything. He digs in his heels and refuses to do anything but stare at the ceiling. Ugh...
