Good afternoon to everyone. Life goes on, doesn't it, with all the wonderful challenges and growing opportunities. Some of them are as simple as deciding whether to try to sit up from flat on my back or whether to manipulate my legs (by hand) over the edge of the mattress and sit up from a sideways position. I'll bet you never even gave a thought as t how to just sit up in bed, did you?

You can thank the good Lord above for such simple abilities.

I've been home from the hospital for about a week now and it has been wonderful; the house is shaping up nicely and the bathroom is in complete working order altho tile work and other things need to be finished. Because of the generosity of so many people, we will be able to obtain a special wheelchair which I will be able to use to wheel myself into the bathroom for use of the commode and the shower. This will free a lot of Sharon's time from having to be with me to insure the safety of my transfers from wheelchair to commode, to wheelochair, to shower bench and back. Thank you to you all.

More later. Some guests arrived.
