Today was another day of appointments and getting a few things done, and then at the end of the day we went to a movie. We were all up at 06:30, and I had my appointment at 08:00, with audiology. As it turned out I have a small infection in my right ear and it needs to be seen by my primary before they can do the hearing test. I should hear back from them tomorrow, as to when I will be going in to see my primary. In the mean time I have a bit of a loss of hearing on the right side, with a constant ringing going on.

Once I got back to the house, I had to get things together so that Jason could get to his first appointment, at 09:30, with PT. Stacy was with us during the day, today, and she was having a great time with us. Most of the people we have to interface with know her pretty well now, so it was very enjoyable for her. The last appointment of the day was totally administrative, and basically just picking up some information about what is going on with the on going treatments and the transitions to being retired. As a reminder, Jason will be retired at the end of this month - actually on the 30th.

When we came back to the house, it was close to 13:00 (1pm) and we had not eaten any lunch yet. To say the least, Stacy was hungry, as were Jason and I. Fortunately we had gone to the store yesterday and picked up all the lunch foods that we need and it was easy to put something together quickly. Stacy ended up eating two sandwiches, just like her daddy. I had one sandwich and some cottage cheese. Before 14:30 (2:30pm) Stacy was asleep on the couch, and remained that way until her mother came to pick her up.

Dinner was very simple, just a bowl of soup for Jason and I, and then we went to go see the movie... Guardians of The Galaxy. Both of us had wanted to see it, and since I had a coupon to see the movie, with a small popcorn and drink, it was a rather inexpensive evening. What we had seen of the advertisements was very close to what we saw in the movie, and both of us enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who is even slightly familiar with the story line, and even for those who are not. I did have a little trouble trying to decide if it was a Sci-Fi Action movie, or just a comedy, as it seemed to fit both.

Tomorrow I will be up early, as I need to help Anthony Netto to get to the airport, so he can catch his flight. He will be here at about 05:15, and then I'll drive him the rest of the way and park his truck back over here. 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...
