Today was a particularly easy day for Jason, as he only had the first appointment with Patient Care, where he goes to get refills for his prescriptions, and then with PT, where they worked on his shoulders and arms, and then he focused on his core. It was really kind of strange about how empty the place was, and I mean all over the base, then Jason asked where everybody was. One of the therapists said that there was a function today, off base, where a bunch of the Wounded Warriors had gone. I guess this jogged his memory because he talked about being asked to go and said he had forgotten about it. He forgot about it because he knew he wouldn't have been able to go anyway. I glad the others were able to get out, and still there were a few guys in the gym.

Otherwise we just kicked back and I cleaned the house a bit. Also found out that Larry, our in home aide is going to be coming back this week. Or, at least that was what I was told. First they have to come out and take a quick look around, do an exam of Jason and Jason has to respond to a bunch of questions. All of that is supposed to take place tomorrow, and then that should open the door, so-to-speak for Larry to come back in, and we can get a bit closer to what was going on before. Thank you, for all your continued prayers and support, and take care and be safe.

    Know that I'm praying!
    Psalms 37:23-24 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

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 ...

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....

Happy St. Patty's Day!

To day was a good day for Jason, as they removed the breathing tube from his mouth and throat, and his medications and pain meds were lowered. All this lead to him being able to begin talking to us, and have visitors, other than from family. On top of that, Bridgette came with the girls today (she went a short time ago to go pick them up), so he'll be able to see and speak with them as well. Of course tomorrow is Friday, and he is scheduled for another surgery (I'll talk more about that later) so we will need to go visit with him early in the morning, and then later tomorrow we will be able to visit with him again. He was visited by a bunch of different doctors with all of them asking him the same basic questions of, "How are you feeling? Where do you have pain? Can you tell me where you are?" etc., etc. Then came the psychiatrist, who wanted to be sure of his mental abilities and neurological issues. He began with those same questions then asked, "Do you know wh...
