Day 113,114,115,&116
The bane of our civilized society is paperwork. You can hardly go to the bathroom without turning in a 4 page report on what goes on , what could be improved, how much does it cost, what your coverage will be, etc. etc. I'm just getting started too. I started on the farm books at last, so I reconciled January, and now I'm on a roll. Glenn had year end set up so that was pretty easy, and I just had to brush off the rust or what ever is clogging up my recall and get at it. I should be caught up soon, provided I don't have a major melt down again.
The weather has been nice enough for Glenn to go touring outside. It sounds as if they will let him go into the power chair on Monday, and are applying for a chair for him. (Again this involves a long application form, which thankfully I'm not required to fill out!) The chair he has been in is a "Loaner", and he will have to give it up if another person needs to use it. He should be in it for a while anyway.
He is doing very well otherwise, his heart has been behaving this week so far, so that is good. He is still on the tube feed, but his speaking and swallowing are improving all the time. He made the hard 'g' sound today, that is the first time he has managed it, so I was happy. These things just seem to happen when they are ready to happen. He told me one of his therapists from the General popped in to see him this week, and told him to come back to 5A when he can. He will be happy to do that, I'm sure, and thank-you to the staff there for being so very good to us while we were there. I know some of you are following the blog, and I'm happy to know that you are.
Jackie successfully rode the 30 person bike for Heart & Stroke. She raised $302.00 dollars, and the team she rode with almost $8000.00. (That was FCC, the company Glenn works for). Her comment was that she didn't expect it to be as hard as it was. Thank-you to everyone who supported her, it was a good thing to be involved with. I took pictures, but forgot my digital, so bought a disposable camera, and will get them developed and saved on disc, so perhaps I'll be able to post some.
I put in a couple more training hours at the store, and my boss says I'm going to have to go solo soon! Oh boy! I really don't want to crash the system then! But I have to do it sooner or later I guess, otherwise what good am I? It has been a good thing for me to do, and Glenn is content to have me do it. The sense of crisis is not so strong, and life needs to be lived, no matter what doors are opened and closed to you.
Just a note about the party in July, if you could please RSVP to me about the tea, that would be great, we have a few question marks.
'Til next time,
Louise

Congratulations, Jackie! I think those bikes look easier to ride than they really are. I'm glad that you have been able to participate in such a positive fundraiser.
Paperwork sucks! It just does! I sympathize and empathisize!
the chair will be great. When Glenn gets going you'll have to put a little red flag on it so you will be able to spot him as he gets more comfortable with it. I always threatened Mom that I would put one on her walker so I couldn't loose her in stores anymore. She was quite speedy.
Love you, M.
Wow! I guess I can officially say that I was in bed with Glenn! but Louise knows, and Chris was there at the time!! hahahahahaha!!
I think the Mitchell kids should get Glenn a set of walkie talkies for Fathers Day. Once he gets in that power chair, they'll need them to find where he is, and it would keep him chattering!
I look forward to each visit, as I see progress each time... keep it up!
