Two of three CT Scan results came back today. The head CT result said the fluid on Bob's brain is less than a month ago. No wonder his short-term memory is returning. The abdominal CT result showed that the wound does not extend into the abdominal cavity; which means, no foreign bodies are getting into his body, if he had any foreign bodies. He's had enough antibiotics that he's starting to glow. ;-) The scan of his tail bone is not back yet.
Saturday is the last day for Bob's IV antibiotics. Believe that! It's been six weeks since our lovely 31-hour visit to OHSU ER.
Each day, Bob's physical and mental health are improving. He's slowly moving out of the wheelchair. He's walking more and more without any assistance of any kind.

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.
