Another day, that felt like we were very busy getting some loose ends tied up, yet it doesn't feel like we got much accomplished. I did take Jason's truck in, as there were some issues going on with the electrical. As it turned out the Chevy dealership said it was a problem with how the lift system was installed, and not their problem. We are now planning on taking the truck back to Ability Center and having them look at it one more time. Funny part is, last time we were there we asked about the electrical problem, and they took some time to check it out - they said it was a Chevy problem. Guess we'll see what happens next.

Linda spent a big part of the day doing clean up around the house and then the two of us went down to the consignment store to take another piece of property - it was a popcorn popper. They have been the place to go to sell some of the stuff we are no longer going to be needing. This was probably one of the best ideas that Linda came up with, as far as what to do with all the stuff we have. We are hoping to have a bunch of it gone by the time we move in to the new house.

We did do something a little different, and that is just the two of us went down to one of the local restaurants and we had a bowl of clam chowder. It was nice, as we don't get a chance to get out and away, by ourselves, very often and this just sort of happened. We enjoyed watching the water on the Bay, and we actually relaxed and had a quiet conversation - -  well, it was a loud conversation since the place was packed and quite noisy. The chowder was pretty good, too. Thanks, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

    So glad you two were able to get out alone! You need more times like that!
    Praying right now!
    Psalms 142:1-3a I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path.

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...
