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.

Too many smartasses...

Exercise was not a problem today for my t. When we entered Home Depot, I offered to wheel my wheelchair myself and he could ride in one of the automatic carts. Bob refused, and said that he needs to walk to get exercise for the day. By the end of our trek across Home Depot two or three times, Bob was getting very slow, but he made it. Hahaha, one fellow stopped us and said, "Are you aware there is a speed limit?" I said, "I'm buckled in. We're good." (Smartass)

Bob's telling everyone that we got married last weekend, and that we're having a second ceremony in Plover in May. Once again....smartass.

Thank goodness for driver's licenses. Bob's has saved me in many many arguments about where we live and when he moved here. He was so "deadset" on living east of Pocahontas, IA and only living here since 2009. I had him look at the issue date on his license. He backed down from his argument. I asked him to not argue with me. He told me to get used to it, because that's what he does. Jokingly, I pulled out my calendar to put a question mark beside May 14, 2011 (our wedding day). :-D The brain and memory are so baffling and frustrating at the same time.

Bob is so smart...

Bob was so amazing today as we talked about commodities. We discussed the difference between the styles of brokers, chart readers or news reactors. Bob is a combination of both, but weighs more toward reading charts. The "zone" he was in while discussing the topic reinforced how intelligent he is, especially about commodities. In my opinion, the clearing house that Bob worked with before his stroke and doesn't want to work with him anymore is making a mistake. A lot of the reason is fear. Bob had brain surgery, so But, I've said this many times over my blogging novel, God has a plan for all of us, and I'm sure there is a real good reason things are happening the way they are.

Bob will be back to trading actively within a few weeks. He'll be with a new clearing house. The new clearing house and the people Bob will be working with are long-time friends. Reconnecting with these people has put a little more "spunk" in Bob's walk.

Bob is trying so hard to work on remembering things. As always, if I give him clues, what he is trying to recall comes to the forefront of his memory immediately. One thing he doesn't remember yet is how we met. He recalls little details, but not how we met. :-(

New page...

Update to the Personal Medical History Book: A fingerprint page has been added to the book. In severe emergency cases, fingerprints will help identify you. Also, a child's fingerprints are needed for identification purposes. Be prepared. When you least expect it, you'll need medical information for yourself or someone in the family. Go here to get a copy of a book that I wrote out of necessity. I needed Bob's medical information time and time again. I designed the book by using a variety of medical forms that repeated the same information over and over. The book is only $14.95. That is 14.95 well spent dollars. It can also be used in emergency situations. If available to EMTs, all of your medical and identifying information is right at their disposal.Included in this book are stroke and heart attack warning signs, caregiver lifting tips, and travel first aid tips. Important information right at your finger tips. Get a book for everyone in your family.

Tonight was the first night for church choir practice. Bob has not missed a beat when it comes to singing. His voice is so wonderful; as most already know.

Bob walked around the yard for the first time today in sixteen months. He walked around checking out the landscape projects that need done, and he checked out the outside of the new addition.

Needless to say, Bob's walking is getting more steady each day. He just used a walking stick today.

I have a gripe to vent. This time it has to deal with the educational system. Oregon is on the low end of the totem poll when it comes to putting money towards educating the kids. They do not provide enough opportunity for alternative styles of education.

During the second half of the past school year, Zachary was sick. I had to withdraw him from school. Eventually, he was able to take band in school while completing his English, Math, and Science online.

Now, I want him to continue taking electives at the school, while completing academics online. Because of how money is allocated, he cannot do both. Figure that out! I think I have a new project.

All is better on the west coast. Bob's brain is reconnecting the wires or making new connections. I try to challenge is memory a few times each day by having him remember a list of items. The funny things is is that I have to make sure I remember the items. I definitely have to sit with Bob and think hard about the items that I asked him to remember.

Remember to order your Personal Medical Information Book at www.travel-mobility.com. I wrote the book because I was tired of having to recall all of Bob's medical information a zillion times. This book allows me to have it all written down, then I can had it to the nurse who's taking his medical information.

Personal Medical Information Book...

The Personal Medical Information Book is ready for purchasing! Do you often find yourself needing to recall medications and the dosage? Do you need to recall family medical information? Is all of your medical information written down in an easily accessible place?

So often over the past year I needed all of Bob's medical information. That's why I designed this book. All of the necessary medical information is all in one small easy to grab book. I keep one for Bob and one for me in the car.

Heck, today, I had an eye appointment that asked me medical information. The book came in handy.

Visit travel-mobility to order one for each member of your family.
