Today's outing was with the wound care nurse at the VA. Bob's stomach wound is healing nicely. The inside is shrinking, and the outside looks great. I guess nurse Jan :-) is doing a good job.
We attempted a trip to Wal-mart, but there wasn't a parking space in the handicap area, so we canceled the adventure.
I think my new medicine is working. My legs don't ache when I walk, and they aren't spastic upon standing or moving. I've been walking beside my t, using his walker and one of my crutches to balance me. I envision myself walking with no assistance, but I wonder what in the world am I going to do when I don't need a wheelchair. It has been five years since I haven't needed a wheelchair, and it has been eight years since I haven't needed a cane or crutches. Now, I really need to get on the exercise "kick" to strengthen my legs that have sat for five years.
Bob's memory hasn't changed. He still likes to make up stories, and he still doesn't believe we live on the west coast of the United States. He knows we live in Oregon, but he thinks Oregon has been moved to the Midwest. :-/
