Another piece of good news - Bob's stomach wound is completely healed shut. We have one more appointment this coming Tuesday at the Portland VA with the neurosurgeons. It's a follow-up appointment for the CT Scans that have been done over the past two months. Cross your fingers that we get a good report.
Well, I did it. I finally put Bob's wheelchair in an inconvenient place, which made my t needing to walk with the walker or, better yet, walk with nothing at all. He walked across the street to the mailbox all by himself. I was tutoring, but I kept looking out the window worrying about a car driving too fast around the corner and hitting my t. It was funny, though. Bob stood on the sidewalk waving at the drivers as they passed by. I saw him do that in the small town of Fairmont, MN; however, in a bigger city, waving at passerbyers that you don't know usually has a different meaning. Nothing mean. Even though, it means something different here in Roseburg, Bob always did continue to wave at people walking or driving while he was driving. What a small town boy. :-)
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.
