We really didn't do much of anything today, other than a load of clothes and I went for a short (very short) bike ride. It was the first time for me being on the bike in several weeks, so I figured I'd better take it easy and not try to start out with a 15 mile ride. I plan on doing the same tomorrow, and get a short ride in, in the morning, and then continue getting some ride time in next week, and rebuilding slowly. The only other thing we did was to go to a taco dinner, over at building 26.

Apparently, every Thursday there is a meal put on by the Purple Heart folks (Ladies) and Jason decided that he was ready to investigate. The tacos were good and more importantly the social gathering was even better. The down side is that I don't have anything else to really talk about today, and maybe that is a good thing. Instead I am going to put some of the pictures from the event we went to, last week, on the blog today, as I finally got around to loading them on to the laptop. I won't be showing all the pictures, some weren't particularly clear, and some were duplicates, and some were, well - a little more personal. Anyway, here they are, and I hope you enjoy them. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

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

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.&quo
