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.

surgery tomorrow...

I get so angry every time I think about having told the medical staff at the Roseburg VA about Bob's exposed shunt in his head and nothing was done. Now, it's such an urgency. I wasn't comfortable knowing that the neurosurgeons at the VA were creating an urgency out of Bob's exposed shunt, so I called the OHSU nueroICU doctors who put the shunt in. They told me the neurosurgeons at the VA hospital are the same surgeons at the OHSU hospital. That helps relieve my mind, but I'm still upset that things weren't addressed sooner. You know though, I'll be asking the doctors tomorrow a million questions! grrrrr...
Bob is doing well. One nurse told me, Bob is all smiles when I'm around. She said he looks so happy. awwww...
