Slowly Getting Back to Normal

Howdy Everyone,

Well, today is Thursday. It is almost the end of another week. Where does the time go? John didn't feel great today, but he didn't feel horrible either. He had therapy again today, but he was quite tired. I think he may be trying to do a little too much. He had ridden the stationery bike today and he said his legs were like jello for therapy. Perhaps he should not try to do quite so much all in one day. Our niece Judy and her husband Rick stopped and visited a while today. It was nice to see them. John really enjoys telling stories and tells them quite well. Nancy Epperson brought us lunch and stayed and visited for a little while as well. People continue to be so kind to us and, again, we are so blessed to have such wonderful friends, family and support system. We hear everyday of people that have been praying for us and, evidently, continue to do so. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate your caring, kind and giving spirits.

We are enjoying being at home so much. It is so nice to live in a small town where people care. We have such a great community of caring people. It's great not having so much traffic also. We have to travel back to Chicago on Monday, so please pray that we make it safely. John has an appointment with the ENT doctor on Tuesday about the possibility of having an injection pushing the vocal cord over. Supposedly that will help both his swallowing and his voice. There is no guarantee at this time that it can be done because the doctor has not yet seen him. On Wednesday we have an appointment with Dr. Yoo, the opthalmologist and Dr. Alexander, the neurosurgeon. Hopefully, those appointments will all go well.

Have a nice evening. More blogging to come.

Love and thanks,

John and Cathy
