I woke up this morning still fuming about the care plan meeting yesterday. My goal today was to talk with the nurse practitioner who seems to be the "mother hen". I was unable to catch up with her. However, I did speak with the physical therapist. I told her of my educational and working background and my observations of Bob's cognitive abilities. She was appreciative. Hopefully, she'll take all of the information back to the care plan team.
Hell, today, I had Bob playing a pinball game on the computer. He was getting very high scores. So, I say, the OT can shove his putting cards in sequential order up his @$$.
T and I did naming items during my evening visit. One month ago, he couldn't give a name too many items, tonight he got the majority correct. Maybe the VA should give me a job!
T and I were talking about the steps he would take if I wanted to trade corn. He asked me if I thought the market will go up or down. Then, he told me I'd have to put more money in my account...blah, blah, blah...I said I hate having to make those decisions. You know what he told me? He said, "Well, if you hate it, then there's only one thing to do...Get out of trading!" What a smartass. He can manage my account. Just let me know how much money I have to go shopping with.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father in heaven, thank You for this new day. Thank You for the opportunity to begin again. I choose to press forward and keep believing for the dreams and desires You’ve placed in my heart. I trust You today with everything that I am. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Many waterfalls in the USA are not accessible by wheelchair. Bob, my husband, and I are traveling the USA to search for waterfalls accessible by wheels (wheelchairs, bikes, strollers).
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.
