Well we are still just moving along......Dan did pretty good all things considered. I am still mad at this I Pad... But I figure I better just learn it... I checked out lap tops and the new "tile system" fails to impress me so I might as well still with this and just decideto " learn it" doggone it any way..I miss a mouse to go back and fix those errors .... But of course it means no more replys to anyone's blogs... So if anyone specifically cares what I think PM me and I can converse that way....had x-mass three days in a row.... I chose to be the Bigger person .... Found out dans mom had done nothing ...i really thought she had gone to one of the other kids place..so when I found out she had not we made another Christmas happen for her... That involved driving her both ways.. In minus ten degrees... But it was good and she enjoyed it... Dan enjoyed the grand kidsand it was my fear he would crash..he held up,but did have some issues yesterday... And today is just plain tired... Had to skip therapy which I hate, but it is what it is......so we managed to eat lobster and ham and turkey and all the appropriate fix ins... Oh my house finally closed so I am making good on obligations ... Hooray!! Now I am trying to decide on a new

mortgage for the house...10 year or 5 year fixed all depends on all the life variables, and the new fiscal

cliff approaching..... Scary world and scary times.... But we people who have weathered the stroke storm

... Have been through so much it is barley making a blip on my radar although it should....I did talk to a

supervisor from my other part time job I used to have ... And was offered a position but I always knew I

could go back there anyways, the pay isn't the greatest,but if I could get benefits namely health

insurance then maybe...........so she was going to find out..as they don't usually do benefits f or part "timers but the economy is changing here for the better, but makes it tough for smaller business's ....

Hopefully Dan cheers up , and gets out of bed..... I accidentally cut his knee shaving his face, I didn't

even notice I had... I guess as I was rinsing the blade .. He won't use electric , so I have to use a blade, .anyhow I rinsed the bade and shook the water (per dans order) off the bade I must have brushed his

knee... So that set off nueropathy for him...A small pain when tired can just run his body over for him..... .So he came out was very crabby refused to eat or drink , and was very blinky...then he decided to go to bed and now has been sleeping for five hours...poor honey....I am hoping tomorrow is much

better....Although after the last two years of the depression and seizure issues the fact he is tired and

crabby and hurting some from the nueropathy this is relatively minor.... Giving me new thoughts the

Dilantin drop off..totally is complete and it might be the residual affects off the fact he is no longer on any

........... Horray......nancyl

Dan is still goofy, but not to bad just impulsive,took himself to the bathroom....worked out ok but a fall is so scarey given the meds he is on...but I did not rain on his parade...can't sleep it is three am and I am up SUCKS....Dan got cut as he sits on the toilet and I on a small stool in front of him with a bucket of water to rinse blade..along with his lotion warming for after his shower... Anyhow when I shook the blade out must have hit his knee....oh the crazy things we have to do and happen to use in stroke world....we have had some small sexier and rapid eye blinking is part of that....these are tiny especially compared to the grandmal... I tried a camera system for my home , no luck and the company no support ..do not buy the izod...if anyone is looking for a camera system to monitor from another area of the house...if anyone has a good system ..video.. Let me know ....Dan is getting more active and all though inam with him alot he sometimes hates me over his shoulder and likes the illusion od independence.....we'll the famous IPad is gonna run out of battery lol...nancyl
