Good day for Jason, in that we didn't do much. Part of the reason we didn't do much was that it was misting, or a lite sprinkle, and our previous plans to go have a barbecue didn't happen. We did get up moderately early, for a Sunday, and we had a quick cereal breakfast. I went for a short 12 mile bike ride that was pretty much flat, so not too strenuous, and it was cool out. I didn't mind the moisture in the air, as it helped to keep me cooler, yet the road surfaces were effectively dry. After I had my shower and got dressed, I helped Jason with his shower and then put on new dressings.

We ended up on going to meet Anthony at a nice restaurant by the boardwalk, and just enjoyed the conversation and visiting.  When we got back to the house I told Jason that I was going to have to still cook the chicken and sausages that I had taken out for the original barbecue. I actually and thawed them yesterday, so I didn't want them to go another day without being cooked. We ended up having some of it for dinner, and it was pretty good with rice and vegetables.

The rest of the day was doing laundry and watching the Giants beat the Dodgers. I got to watch most of the game so I felt pretty good. It was a sweep too, so I even felt better. I have to admit, though, that I am a bit disappointed by the Dodgers. Last year I expected them to put up a better run at the end, and they kind of just fell apart, and now they seem to be continuing the slide into this season. Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers for Jason and his healing. The wounds are giving us some extra challenges and I am hoping to get some better focus on it by the doctors and other medical folks. Take care and stay positive.

    Saw the end of the game today. Dodgers came so close to a big come back!
    Praying as always!
    Isaiah 55:6-11 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog and posting as often as I said I would, but I guess that's what happens when the days really do start to seem more normal, and don't feel like there is much to update about. Then when there is something exciting going on, by the time I can get to the blog I'm pretty well worn out for the day and then I'm slow to get to it afterward. Well, I will continue to provide updates, as I can and we'll just have to see where it takes us. Jason's sled hockey season is over and he had a great time with it. He was not able to go to the final tournament, in Chicago, due to travel challenges. First challenge was simply getting there - there really isn't any way to get there, that doesn't simply totally wear him out, and then he needs the next day to recover. We think we may have figured out a way around this, though it actually means more travel time, rather than recovery time. We have found a van that can provide a

10 Alive Day (10 Years after the blast)

 Wow! It has been 10 years today, that Jason was injured and despite all the expectations from the medical folks, he's still alive and as positive and active as ever. Most of you are aware that he is into sled-hockey and that we haven't been able to get out and play for over a year now. There is a positive side to all this, though, as the timing of the shut downs and the length of the pandemic. It began just as Jason's team (the Ducks) was getting ready to go to the championship tournament, in Philadelphia, when everything was shut down. This meant that because they were defending champions they simply maintained the title. Then the following season was cancelled so the third year they have kept the title as well... trouble is that no- body wants to keep it that way. They would rather be out there on the ice and having some real games and doing what they do best... PLAY HOCKEY! We do understand now, that the games are very likely to begin again soon, so everybody is doing t

Again, I have no reasonable excuse other than to say I got side tracked. On the last post I mentioned that Jason had gotten injured, while playing in the hockey tournament. Well, as it turned out it was a more serious injury than either of us had suspected. The outcome was that he lost some soft tissue and a section of his pelvic bone was exposed (about the size of a quarter) and he is now required to have a wound-vac so that it can heal properly. This means that he has to spend most of his time in bed and can only be up in his chair for no more than 20 minutes at a time, and that followed by hours of rest time. The rest time is for the injury, and not necessarily for Jason, as he isn't tired. As you can imagine, he gets very board with this "life style" and wants to get up and go do something. We've been going in to wound-care frequently, once or twice each week, and they keep telling us, "...we'll take a look at it next week, to see what happens next.&quo
