Well, I'm back on the site today. I did get a chance to look in a couple times but wasn't much being said in the way of news. I think everybody was taking a break. For me I just been trying to continue to walk without my cane. Like everything else we try or attempt there are good days and naturally some not so good days. I'm happy to say I have walked on all kinds of surfaces, inclines and all without a single slip or fall. So in my mind I'm making good progress. And I thought and have said many times..."I'll probably never be able to walk again without a cane." Well this last week has proven that thought to be incorrect.

Looks like we didn't gain many new members this last week or two by looking at the numbers of members. Looks like not many are talking or posting on the message board lately. I did notice more Blogs are being posted and that's a good thing for recovery of the survivor and contentment for the care givers whose care can never be taken lightly. Without care givers we survivors wouldn't be here for sure.

Success and recovery comes in stages for many of us and I can see where our beloved Sue is having more than her fair share of situations in caring for Ray. So, I just want to say, "Sue, we are with you in spirit and heart everyday and our prayers continue to be right there with you and Ray daily!"

My wife lying on the bed behind me says "hello Sue and God bless you and Ray." She's off this week and we both are resting up for next weeks work. Her company party for Christmas is in the final planning stages and I'm still in the mix to get out on the dance floor if everything goes well in the next few weeks here at home.

I'm sure you guys have heard the news about the bank business and people taking their accounts to federal credit unions. It's so true in my town with all the federal workers in this town. Her bank was affected too so I don't suppose they will counter act by laying off employees! That's always a possibility you know. Life goes on, it just gets much harder for those losing their jobs and homes!

Thinking ahead we can only hope 2012 will bring changes to our economy and government. It is needed now! Well here is hoping all of you are healthy, in good spirits and recovering all you can. Debbie, I hope your state is finally getting back to life with electricity. They had help from many states to repair the fallen lines all over the state. That storm really did a lot of damage there. With all that water on the ground it was harder for the electric power men to get the jobs done, the lines up, and not get electrocuted. See Ya later!

Fred!
