We went in for Jason's PT and also to speak with the folks over at Bldg 26. Otherwise we really didn't have much to do this morning. We got to the base at about 09:30, and back at the house at about 12:15. I fixed a quick lunch and then took off for a short bike ride. Actually, the ride was to get down to the bike shop, so I could get some air into the tires, and know what the pressure is. Apparently I was riding with softer tires and that was part of the reason the short rides I had been doing were kind of tough. Okay, perhaps me being a bit out of shape had something to do with it also.

The rest of the day was spent with Jason staying in bed and relaxing, and also checking out some of the local area for available property, in San Diego. Not sure what tomorrow is going to bring, other than taking Gracie to her training, but I hope the weather continues to hold and maybe I can get in a longer ride on Saturday.

This evening, Jason and I went to see a movie that Jason wanted to see - Bad Grandpa. I do not endorse this movie, at all. Jason loved it and I tolerated sitting through it. I guess it is a generational thing, but for the most part I thought it was a bit on the immature side. I will say that some of the stunts were funny, so I have to admit that I did laugh at part of the movie, but I don't recommend it to anyone. Once the movie was over we simply came back to the house and because it was so late, we simply called it a day. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

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...
