hmmm....

Believe this, I'm dumbfounded as to what to say. Today was a mellow day. Bob and I sat outside on our new deck. It was quiet and peaceful. The birds were chirping up a storm. Coupe was fishing for salamanders in the creek while Bentley basked in the sun.

Friday is pizza night. We ordered from Dominoes. I ordered two of their lava crunches, which are "to die for". Bob and I scarfed those down before anyone else came to the dinner table. We weren't about to share. Bob did a little conniving. He told me to throw the box away, and no one will even know we ordered them. hahaha...so I did. :D

Bob did a lot of walking by himself today. He's even venturing off without any assistance. He remembered for longer periods of time. woo-hoo

step-two-three, turn-two-three

Bob worked with a physical therapist today who said that Bob is solid as a rock if he is holding onto something, but as shaky as a leaf if he is not. All he needs is time to gain strength, then he'll be good as new. Aunika and Bob were dancing the "jig" as he rotated around in a circle. Too funny.

My medicine was delivered UPS today. It's the medicine that is supposed to help me walk faster. I may see results as soon as two days. It may take four - six weeks. Cross your fingers. What it does is fill-in the holes in the nerve covering that was eaten away by my own immune system. My muscles don't get a full signal from my brain to move. Filling in the holes will give my muscles a more direct signal. The drug is called Ampyra by Acordia. We had stock in the company years ago. Too bad we sold it.

Almost one year...

May 14th was the day Bob had his ruptured brain aneurysm. It was a Wednesday night at 2am in the morning. It's hard to believe it has almost been one year. My how time flies when your having fun! :-p

Bob had a good day today. he went to the dentist. No cavities! I guess he didn't have too many sweets over the year. :-)

Bob walked with a cane for a short distance. Woo-hoo! He did well. The cane he used was given to me by a friend who used it to guide cattle. How appropriate for Bob to use it!

May 29th - Party at the United Methodist Church in Roseburg. Party 2 - Cocktails at the firepit at our house at 8pm.

It's crying time again...

Oh my goodness, Bob received some emails today from friends who were responding to the RSVP request for the one-year survivor party. Even though a few were expressing regret that they could not come, Bob was crying about the kind thoughts by the sender.

Believe it or not, Bob has a yeast infection now around his stomach wound. Females know all about this. Since he is on an antibiotic, the yeast in his body is not being kept "in check", so it grows ramped. He started another antibiotic for that. It is in pill form though.

Guess what? I start the new drug that helps people with MS walk faster. It will be delivered on Thursday. Woo-hoo!

Who da thunk?...

I should have seen this coming. Bob has lost an entire year, but in his mind, he hasn't lost a day. He knows that it is 2010, but when I talk to him about clients and trading, he swears he just spoke the them, as if it were yesterday. He gets angry with me when I tell him that it has been a year or more since he's spoken to a client. It's an argument not worth arguing.

He's doing great with watching charts and keeping up with the quotes. We're working on reading all the news articles that play a role in making the quotes go up or down. Being a commodities broker is hard mental work. I'm not sure I have enough brain space for it all. :-)

RSVP if you don't mind...

Church, napping, sitting on the deck, grilling steak, that's what this Sunday contained? Bob told his sons that he was having a very "laid back" day today. He said he was at a resort. It's nice to hear that he thinks our house is a resort. However, once again, we got in an argument, because he thought and convinced himself that we were in northern Minnesota. I had to get a map out, show him mail with our address, and show him his driver's license. He still didn't believe me. Mail from the IRS wasn't convincing either. He said that anything from the government is a lie. Ugh...what a challenge. I finally conceded. I told Bob that he can be anywhere he wants to be.

Oregon or Iowa?

AAAAA...Bob gave me a scare today. He looked outside and said that we lived in Iowa. Well, that wasn't something new. he's been saying that for months upon months. What scared me was that he said he wants to move back to Iowa. I helped him understand that even though I grew up in PA, where it snows a lot, I hate snow, and he couldn't ride his Harley year-round in Iowa. I told him if he wants snow, we can drive to the snow any day.

ahhh...thank goodness, he agreed. So, for today, we're not moving. :-)

Everyday, we plan on getting the wii out to begin wiiFit. So far, it hasn't happened. Our intentions are good. Aren't they? Yes!

Memory-wise, we reviewed a commodities training manual published by the Chicago Board of Trade. I thought the other day I was finally understanding the whole concept. Now, today, I don't think I understand much. Back to the high stress level. Ugh...

Zachary plays the trumpet with the choir tomorrow in church. Keep him in your thoughts. Also, some of the choir men/friends are going to help Bob walk up the steps into the choir loft so he can sing with the basses instead of sitting alone in front of the choir. I know he's going to cry.
