Trading recall comes easy for Bob...

I ask Bob everyday what he wants me to say in the blogpage. His response is the same response he has for most other questions I ask throughout the day. He says, "I don't know." His thinking for short-term immediate thinking is not there yet. He still has problems with recalling nouns. If I give him the first letter, he recalls what he wants to say. He can describe what he's trying to recall. He just can't come up with the word.

We went to DQ again. We need to buy some stock in DQ; maybe I'd recoup some of the money I poured into that place.

Bob educated me today on commodity stuff. All of that information just "rolls" out of his mouth. He has no problem remembering any of the ins and outs of trading.

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.

All is great...

Everything is going great. Today's podiatry appointment resulted in good news. Even though my T has drop foot, his one toenail may detach, buthet has healthy blood flow to his feet; the nail will grow back.

Finally, the crazy appointment week is over. Bob stayed awake most of the day the past couple of days. I'm finally understanding the commodity thing, and I'm caught up with myonline class. I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel, for the moment, at least.

Moving right along...

CT results revealed "no change" from the previous CT Scan, which means, there is no further build up of fluid on his brain, which means, as of now, there is no need for another shunt to be put in his head.

Choir practice was tonight. Zachary is going to be playing another trumpet piece with the choir on Sunday. He's excited, but nervous at the same time. Bob face shows that he is proud of Zachary.

Bob is walking more and getting stronger. Believe it or not, he stayed awake the entire day. (except for a short half-hour nap)

There is only success!

Today was a fairly mediocre day. I finally was able to go to the grocery store. It's always nice to send someone else to the store with a list, but it's not the same as when you're able to go yourself. Definitely, though, more money is spent when you go yourself.

Bob's stomach wound is healing nicely, and his IV antibiotics are flowing smoothly without a hitch.

One of my friends on facebook posting a saying that is my new mission statement: There is no quitting. There is no surrender. There is only success! I'm going to post it all over the house.

Baffling, I tell you...

We got the statement today from our OHSU ER visit two weeks ago. You'd think they gave us gold or diamonds. I wish they did. I'd be able to understand the five digit figure that jumped off of the paper like a sore thumb!

Bob and I had a conversation today about writing a book about this past year's adventure. He started to cry, because he doesn't remember any of it, and he's sorry he made me go through it. :-( I don't think my assuring words did any good.

Did I mention, we are going to get T-shirts made saying, "I survived a brain attack" for the One-year Survivor party. We are all survivors!

Bob had a CT Scan done today. Hopefully, we have results tomorrow saying everything is good. Bob remembered so much today; it gets better and better everyday. I still see changes on a daily basis.

We achieved normal for one day...

I think we had a normal day. From what I can recall a normal day is like, we had one today. What made our day normal was a trip to DQ. They are having a special on Blizzards. If you've followed me on this blogpage, you know I can't pass up an Oreo Blizzard, and a Strawberry Cheesequake for Bob.

We took our Blizzards to the park and enjoyed the beauty of the flowering trees.

Bob played his guitar and sang. He has such a good voice. He talked to his parents who will be coming to the one-year survivor party (see below). He cried after being told this. He also said that he's not going to have a dry eye at all during the party. He is constantly amazed at how many people care about him.

Bob walked more with his walker today. I put the wheelchair out of sight again. Am I bad? Oh well...

Right from the horse's mouth...

Bob said today that everything he does is such a production. His brain takes him through every step ten times before he can take action. For example, to stand up, he needs to look around to make sure everything is out of the way. If there is something out of order, he has to organize it to perfection. Then, he has to lock his wheelchair brakes, then, reorganize. Then, check the brakes again, then reorganize, then try to stand, then reorganize, and on and on.

He says it is so frustrating to him. I can understand, because it's frustrating for me to watch. I feel for him. I assure him that I have patience, and that his brain is healing. Automation will come with time.

We watched "Phantom of the Opera" this evening. He remembered the first time we saw it together. Awww...memories are coming back. :-)
