Ruth, you always put your time to good use, I am amazed by what you do.

I once met an old man who had trained some amazing wrestlers, some Olympic champions among them. He told me carbs before exercise and protein afterwards so the burger was a good choice on Williams part.

We all do the best we can to make the time we have with our survivor useful time. Keep up the good work.

Sue.

Ruth: I am impressed with William's willingness to work with you. That is such a benefit. We use the turn onto his weak side, legs way over the side of the bed (Bruce leads with his weak leg, the strong leg pushes the weak one) and then Bruce pushes up with the good hand at about chest level. Just this week I noticed he can do it by himself. I had side rails put on our bed (they fit under the mattress and sit on what would be the box spring if it was a regular bed). He was still a bit impulsive back then. Now, of course they are down, but he uses them to tranfer in and out of the WC, so I left them.

I just sat here thinking about all the work William and you did today and am just so envious. I know there are bad days, don't get me wrong. But if you can get five out of seven days of that kind of work, he is really serious about his recovery and couldn't have a better caregiver. I shoveled snow again today, but even if I hadn't I still would have been tired just reading your blog.

Rock on baby

Rut, You go girl. :You-Rock:You take a day that starts out like a lemon and turn it into lemonade.remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean :cocktail:

I guess you can say the day wasn't wasted? It was raining here too, still is and getting colder by the hour! I'm in until it warms back up next Sunday!
