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.

Bob 4 years past brain surgery

Wow, it has been 2 years since my last post; I guess all is going well.  It has been 4 1/2 years since Bob's ruptured brain aneurysm and brain surgery.  And, to think many many medical professionals thought he'd never get out of bed. The only thing that gave anyone an inkling that something wasn't right was Bob's short-term memory.  However, that all changed over night when he started wearing a CPAP machine at night.  Before the use of the machine, Bob would wake up 60 times during the night (15 times diagnoses sleep apnea).  Bob was denying his brain of oxygen and rest time.

After 1-2 days using the CPAP machine, Bob's short-term memory is back to normal; his energy surpasses his normal; and, his nap times have gone from sleeping every time he sits down to six hours of sleep a night is sufficient.
