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.

More recovery...

We took another step closer to sealing the marriage deal. We bought the rings. My engagement ring is getting sized. When I get it, I'll post a picture. However, Bob can't recall on his own that we got them. He remembers when I give him clues. His memory has been that way for a long time, hasn't it?

We ran into Bob's speech therapist that he had in Rosehaven one year ago. She was the one who taught me so much about the swallowing and speech connection. She also gave me a thick binder full of activities to do with Bob to improve his memory when he move from Rosehaven to the VA. Anyway, she was ecstatic to see how far Bob has "woken" up. She said that she doesn't get to see too often a person who was in such a shell as Bob was emerge without much noticeable impairments. :-)

Bob killed me in backgammon today. I jokingly said, "Either you're getting your brains back or I'm getting dumber." He said, "He must be getting his brains back, because I'm just as smart as before."
