Good Day

Hello all,

It is Wednesday, November 18 and it was a very good day. John took a real bath today and that felt so good to him. I had bought one of those transfer chairs last week, but he didn't use it very long and I'm pretty sure will not use it again. He did very good at getting in and out of the tub--better than I thought he could. He is also walking around the house without using anything. He says he has to try new things; I just worry about him losing his balance and falling. I had to run some errands this morning and I told him I would be gone quite a while. I got back sooner than expected and I found him outside airing up a tire on his car. He had carried the air compressor to the patio and charged it up, then carried it to his car and aired up the tire. He was pretty off balance by the time I arrived home, but he again said he had to try new things to get stronger. I was pretty angry, but I have to admit he is getting stronger. Maybe he's not doing it in the way I would like, but he's certainly very eager.

His friends from Kentucky, Lee and Joann, stopped today. I had cooked dinner and they ate with us and stayed until about 3:00. We had a very nice visit. John certainly keeps us all entertained.

His eye is still bothering him but, hopefully, that will start to get better soon. He has therapy again tomorrow.

We continue to pray for those in need. We love you all.

John and Cathy

  1. We sure do take a lot for granted when we are up and at'em...like taking a bath, for instance, I hadn't thought about him not being able to. That is my favorite thing to do and I am glad he can do that now. What a blessing....it turned out to be a beautiful sunshiny day (Thurs) and I hope it was a good one for you both. Love you both bunches.....Take care....Janice and Charlie
