I pretty much stayed away from everyone today, though Linda was brave enough to come spend some time with me. I did find out that what I have is a gastrointestinal virus, but I'm still going to call it the flu, cause that's what it feels like. Not sure where it came from, and I don't have a feel for how long it is going to last, just that it is a real pain.

I did get some time to work on a couple of other things, that I have been pushing aside a bit, over these last few weeks. Since I was spending most of my time upstairs I had time to sit at my "desk" and get on the computer (Desk is in quotes because it is really more of a large shelf, but it works). I made a few efforts to lay down and just rest, but wasn't really successful. I'm progressively feeling a little better all the time, so I'm hopeful that by tomorrow I'll be feeling much better.

Linda went with Jason to his appointment today, and I guess it went okay, as they didn't report anything negative. Because Jason did some driving in his truck we moved the handicap placard to the truck, so when they went to the hospital in the van, they didn't have it. Basically, Linda had to drop Jason off and then attempt to find a parking place in the garage. It was one of those things that you don't normally worry about, and if planned for really has little to no affect on the timing. Because it wasn't caught until the very end it did cause a bit of a scramble at the end. Jason made it on time and Linda was able to park just fine... she just had to walk a bit more.

Not sure about what is going to be happening tomorrow, other than a possible trip to Costco. We need to pick up a few things, and otherwise just relax a bit. We'll do some cleaning around the house and maybe put up some Halloween decorations before the girls come back on Monday. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    I think it's the same thing. Hope you're feeling a lot better by now!
    Know that you continue to be in my prayers!
    Psalms 61:1-4 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

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...
