Back to Reality

My 4-day respite break is over and it's back to reality. Gary had a cold while I was gone, but he's feeling better now. I gave him some more cough syrup before he went to bed last night and he slept really well until around 4 a.m. when he heard me up, then it's been toss and turn.

I got in to Vegas on Friday afternoon around 5 p.m., took a...

Off To The Casino!

My wife and I decided to make a trip up the road to visit and play in the casino again since summer will arrive on Friday and she is off for a couple days. It will be great for me to get out the house for a change of scenery and perhaps a streak of luck at the same time.

I read about the good times some of you had going to the casino and it got in my blood...

thinking about changes I need to make

Posted by hostsue in Sue's Sentiments, 17 June 2013 -

A few people have asked me what I intend to do with the rest of my life. To some of my older friends, 20 years older than me, from their perspective I should try getting out more, enjoying my life while I am able to, before the aches and pains of old age catch up with me. Some of my younger friends think I should maybe get a part-time job but I don't...

It has been a very positive weekend. In making choices as to my time here and at work, think I really know the answer (thank you Nancy, took a while, but it did finally sink in - LOL).

Saturday was a beautiful day, finally after all the rain. Bruce read almost all day while home - again me being in the house. We loaded up the truck with the donation stuff...

Going on the run

Posted by DaveO in DaveO's Blog, 16 June 2013 -

· 69 views

I’m going on the run again. I gained entry into the Medtronic Twin Cities 10 mile race again this. I was one of the 1000 lucky finishers of the one mile race in May who was randomly selected for guaranteed entry into the 10 mile race later this year. I finished the one mile race in 6 minutes and 3 seconds. My goal was to get under 6 minutes. I could...

Better Days

The week has been a pretty good one. Since school is out now, I have the grandkids more often, which is a good thing. I have been taking them to the home with me when I go and that really seems to cheer mom up. Tuesday was mom's 85th birthday. There is a little room there for people to have privacy for family get togethers. I went over and decorated,...

Why does everything happen at once?

I have had the roofer scheduled, along with my deposit, since April. We have had a lot of rain, so my roof has been rescheduled twice. They finally came today at 6:15 a.m. The cats were freaked at all the noise. I have always been like "the project manager" because Larry worked, and now he is unable to help. Five men were here all day and...

Burning Candle at Both Ends, getting burnt.....

I've been getting about 3-4 hours sleep a night, as I have too much to do, and there is no help for it. Closing is coming on the house, whether I'm ready or not, and they want me out on closing day. The therapist told me she had a doctor's appt Tues at 11, but she could make it by 3, and she had canceled all her other appts, but was...

I am making a list of rehabs that I attended to better understand the best approach to take after a stroke and hopefully help others. On September 25, 2008 I had a right side ischemic stroke which led to left side hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and thalamic pain I was 43 years old in good shape and very athletic. Two days after the stroke I started PT...

Introduction, My path

Introduction

Hello, it has taken me over 10 months to realize that I need to tell my story. It has been 10 months filled with every emotion, many of which I have never experienced before. It is my hope that not only can I help others who are sent on the path that I have traveled, but that I may receive guidance and support from those who are on the same path ahead of...

failure is not failure its life moving us into another direction

Posted by achandra in achandra's Blog, 04 June 2013 -

I saw oprah's commencement speech of 2013 to harvard & loved it. I totally agree with her words of wisdom about what one considers failure in life, änd I quote her "There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction. Now, when you’re down there in the hole, it looks like failure. … Give yourself...

I am 80 years and 8 days old. Next month it will 5 years ago I stroked at 4:00am on a Sunday morning. I have read here several times about how progress never stops after a stroke. I have seen this to be true but this last year has taken away all that I gained. I just don’t have the strength I had even last year. Worse than that I just can’t seem to get...

So tired.

· 147 views

Things have been a bit rugged around here lately and I feel so exhausted. I seem to need a nap every day which is very unusual for me. I can't decide if it's the new med for depression or if depression itself is to blame. I actually do not feel depressed. I feel exhausted and weary. I was a lot more irritable with Lauren, which is why I went on the...

Well the shake down trip in the new motor home is completed. About 1100 miles and Lesley drove every inch. It was about 550 miles each way and we took two days, stopping and camping one night each way. We got 20MPG on the diesel and it has lots of power and was smooth and quiet. We love the new machine. It is a bit longer than our old one, 24ft vs 20ft for...

Dan's surgery was a month ago and he's been in a nursing home for rehab for two weeks. I've seen Dan frustrated, angry, tired, connected to machines with tubes going into and out of his body. I have never, in 36 years, seen him this mean and hurtful. Not just to me, to everyone. He is verbally abusive to everyone at the facility, to Jeff,...
