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.

Woo-hoo!...

Woo-hoo! Bob's able to come home again on Saturday and Sunday during the day. Our addition to our house is nearly complete. The contractor said we can start moving things in this weekend. So that means, when my T comes home this weekend, he'll have a bathroom fit for the king to use. Let's hear another Woo-hoo!

Rehab in Vancouver is still pending. The nurse practioner at the Roseburg VA sent another request yesterday asking them to quickly give an answer because Bob is getting overly anxious to get out of the medical unit and is becoming a bit of a risk for injury; it's getting difficult to keep him in one spot. Remember the house arrest incident?

Bob stood without the walker in physical therapy today. He liked the feeling, but it was a bit scary.

Cognitive therapy: We worked on naming pictures again. The "got" pile is finally getting bigger than the "I don't know" pile.

Bob Pirie Fund: Many of Bob's friends have expressed that they wanted to help by donating to a fund that will help with Bob's medical expenses. I have set up a Bob Pirie Fund at Umpqua Bank here in Roseburg. If you are interested in making a contribution, you can mail a check to: Umpqua Bank

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father in heaven, thank You for being my Deliverer. I trust that You have a good plan for me and that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. Thank You for Your strength and peace in every area of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
