The contractor gave me an estimation of three weeks for the completion of the new addition. So, if T is not in the rehab in Vancouver, WA by that date, I plan on loading him in the car and taking him home.
Wow! That gives me approximately 21 days to get things in order. He has his game plan too. For the next three weeks, he will be walking, exercising, and working on healing the pressure wound completely, so he says.
I forgot to take Bob's walker back to the VA last night. But, that didn't stop my T. Shannon, the good nurse, went to his room to check on him this morning. He was using his wheelchair as a walker looking for the restroom.
Bob has some good stories to tell. I never know what I'm going to hear when I enter his room for a visit. I've heard all kinds from cousins getting sick from eating sheep to wondering how I was permitted on this ship. (It depends on what is on TV.)
"How ya doin', Bob"..."I'm getting better. It's a long road. I'll be golfing in the summer, and I'll be back to work in two months."

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.
