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.

fuzzy brain...

I hate to say, but Bob has taken a few steps backwards in the"clear head" category after his surgery on Monday. He seems to be in a cloud thinking and observing all the time. He looks like he's in deep thought. What he needs is brain stimulation. I did a few brain games that seemed to bring him out of his "fog" for a short time. I gave him a list of numbers to repeat forwards and backwards to me. I also mixed up words and numbers. He had to tell me the words first, then the numbers. For example, I said, "skirt, flower, 5, skunk, 7". He had to say, "skirt, flower, skunk, 5, 7"; which, he did.
His posture has also deteriorated. I need to make some exercise suggestions to the PT. I can't wait to get my t home to focus on a program just for him. You're probably all thinking, "Who is this chick?" I've said it before, I believe I know what I'm talking about. I pride myself on being able to individualize programs for people to optimize results, especially, in reading/basic academics. My career background is wellness and education. That "umbrella" covers a wide variety of topics.
PARTY
There will be a one-year Survival Party, May 29th for those who need more time to plan. That is Memorial weekend, so you'll have a four-day weekend. More details will be coming.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
HeavenlyFather, thank You for the good future that You have prepared for me. Today I choose to come into agreement with Your Word and declare Your blessing over my life. Keep me close to You as I surrender every area of my life to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
