hey Butch :

overall you guys did pretty ok first weekend, I remembr my first week home, my hubby would getup every time I needed to go to bathroom, and now I have to fall on him to wake him up, I guess he is more confident of my ability now than he was before

Hey Butch,

You're doing great!!! The only grade you gave yourself that I disagree on is the housework and Cleaning. Change that to a C+. You don't get B's until you quit enabling.

Jean

Butch,

Try not to be so hard on yourself, things will get easier and better with time.....

Pam

PS. No enabling is allowed.

Butch-

I am glad things went well. I almost replied again to your last blog yesterday to ask how it was going, but decided not too since I figured you'd let us know when you could. Now that she is home, don't forget to stop in here and give us updates when you can! Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS AND tell her we said WELCOME HOME!

Butch, I can quote Asha's reply, my fiance Greg was a nervous wreck when I came home and would also get up through the night when I needed the bathroom, but that has worn off now. Bathing was also a story, Greg would "throw" me in the bath and "haul" me out again - not very gracefully either! but that has also gotten better, I can now bath myself. Things have a way of working themselves out, you will soon get into a comfortable routine. Glad she is home though, good luck to you both.

Butch, you do have a shower chair for a walk in shower? Or no walk-in shower? I find them a great help. I don't use the chair- did only once but like to help my balance although I have a grab bar there also.

As the others said, You are doing great. OK, now - slowly let Lisa ease back into preparing food and beginning chores, light dusting etc. That's the way to learning. No knives when preparing food yet or getting near hot stove. That time will come and now you don't need cuts and burns.
